I job share and the lady I share with has just announced she's pregnant.. Our job is a full time role and I expected our employer to just advertise & recruit maternity cover. However, they are now saying a recent similar situation has shown them it's virtually impossible to find good cover and whilst they'll certainly try
, it's unlikely to happen (they won't use recruitment company or pay to advertise so no surprise they can't fill the role!)
They've already talked about moving me to a different role (admin instead of sales) which I don't want & cant afford the drop in pay, or, transfer to another office (fine for my job share partner but not for me due to already massive commute). Any ideas where I stand on this? can they just end my role like this without any serious attempt to find cover? My contract allows 3 months to find a replacement or my role becomes redundant so assuming this is the route they go down, would that be 3 months from now or when my partner goes on maternity leave?
Thanks LCN
