Job Offer withdrawn after informing employer that I am pregnant.

[Char1997]

Hi all,

I originally posted this on as a pregnancy thread. As the situation has evolved I have been advised to post on here. I was offered a job yesterday afternoon and although I know I was under no obligation to inform them, I told the employer that I was expecting in December. Since then I have had the job offer withdrawn as they felt that I “misled them” and wasn’t honest. Is anyone able to give me some advice if I were to take this further.

good luck

Good luck for Weds OP. It's so important for women to fight shit like this, so thank you.

Hoping you get a decent pay out but more importantly that the company learn their lesson.

Let us know how it goes.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Just read this thread. Good luck op!

Good luck!

Good luck, hope you get some good news on Wednesday xx

Good luck on Wednesday OP! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Finally! Best of luck to you OP! I have been following from the very start! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞

Best of luck for Wednesday, OP!

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Best of luck for Wednesday!
Really hoping it goes in your favour, that woman is horrible, unprofessional and trying her best to stall things!
So glad the courts have set it up to be done by phone so she can't drag this on any longer.

Please do update us I've only just found the thread and I'm so angry this has happened to you!

(Belated) Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

Hi OP,

I know a friend in HR, in her company a few years ago a person who'd they'd given a job offer to then withdrew it for a spurious reason once she disclosed pregnancy took them to tribunal. It took 18 months to go through the various stages, but she was awarded a six figure sum.

So I suppose what I'm trying to say is hold your nerve, and don't let them settle with you for a small amount as they will suddenly no doubt be keen to settle once the hearing date looms closer.

Take care

Good luck!

What was the job

Good luck op.

Good luck for Wednesday! I’ve been popping on and off to see how you’ve been getting on. I have everything crossed for you!

Best of luck OP

Best of luck. I’ve been thinking about you for ages, thank you for coming back to update us. Kick ass on Wednesday!

Good luck OP 👍

Good luck

Gd luck OP

We really hate the fact that you were not upfront with us

A truly awful comment and disgusting people. You are not obligated to tell someone (employer or not) personal details about your life. Cannot believe who they think they are.

Good luck for the hearing OP.

Definitely don't settle before the hearing - 15 years ago I took my employer to tribunal for disability discrimination and they tried to settle for £7000. I was awarded £23000, and I'm so glad I didn't just settle (my case had dragged on for 18 months).

I hope things go well, I have no doubt they will.
