In July of last year I was being hounded out of my job. I wanted to make a claim
for constructive dismissal and had kept a lot of emails as evidence, at this time I discovered I was pregnant and was very stressed and ill and exhausted with the worry as the Company were also trying to demote me and move me to a different area. I didn't tell them I was pregnant as they probably would have sacked me. I resigned with immediate effect rejecting the demotion. and threatened them with constructive dismissal. I didn't pursue it as the Solicitor said it could have cost me up to 5k. I worked in a shop that had a history of armed robberies, in fact when I left my replacement Manager was a victim of two robberies and injured by a door in the space of about three weeks. Lots of health and safety issues as well. I suppose my best plan would have been to try to try and get Maternity leave . I was also worried about the safety of myself and my baby and very depressed at the time. Have I missed the boat. I know the rule after leaving is within three Months to make a claim. Could an exception be made because I was so stressed. I was also sick throughout the whole of my pregnancy. I am glad to be out of there but struggling on benefits and kicking my self.
