Public facing role while pregnant during covid

[Mamabear04]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had experience of working in a public facing role when pregnant and being suspended with pay because of the pandemic? Can or does this happen? I read on the SG website that if a Risk Assessment deems your job unsafe and you can't work from home you have to be suspended with pay. Just wondering what would make that the case?

What sort of role is it?

And how risky is the role?

It's visitor services/tourist attraction type role so not front line or anything like that. I'm more thinking because there are lots of people who don't wear face coverings, colleagues being off with covid etc

I worked til 36 weeks pregnant last august with the public, frontline local government job. I was told the risk assessment deemed it safe. I never saw the risk assessment 🤷🏼‍♀️

I work in that type of role but in zero hours. If I don't work I don't get paid so will be working up to 38weeks.

Pregnant teachers in GCC have been told to work till 38 weeks.

I think you’re into plums OP.

I worked till 36 weeks, didn’t stop seeing clients. I know a few nurses who are working patient facing till 28 weeks, pregnant doctor friend of mine was working with covid patients till 28 weeks as well.

Your work should have the appropriate safety measures in place - masks, sanitizer, screens up etc.
