Will try to cover everything relevant.
Imm 15 weeks pregnant, im employed through an agency. Prior to telling the company I work for I was pregnant they wanted to increase my hours and take me on as staff. Roll on 2 weeks later and I've receved a call from the agency to say that they need to cut my hours in half. Im now only working 12 hours.
My OH is still unemployed (not by choice, made redundant) and despite looking and applying for any job possible hasnt had any luck.
The role I had been doing was a basic role, however a few months back they increased my responsibility and job load a lot. This brought a lot of stress as I had no training and had to figure it all out myself. Through worry that im doing the job right i've made myself ill the past few months. Although never had a sick day or let it affect my work.
I really dont want to go back and work there now, I didnt want to tell them but its a volotile place and for H&S reasons I thought it was best they knew I was pregnant (wish I hadnt bothered now).
I've spoken to the agency in depth and they understant how I am feeling and know I dont want to go back there. They are therefore trying to find me an alternative place to work, preferably full time.
If DP claims JSA as a couple (we have a 2 year old) would the fact i've technically handed in my notice affect his claim? Any ideas/advice on the rest would be greatly appriciated too.
