Hi again,
I am currently off sick with stress and anxiety while pregnant due to workplace bullying (my complaint has been upheld but this has had a huge affect on me and on the baby - I'm 16.5 weeks pregnant)
I am concerned that I have been off sick during my qualifying week for mat pay. It is paid sick though as I have a great sickness record prior to this.
I have however just read that in order to qualify for smp you need to work at least one day during your qualifying week (which I guess is around this time)
Is this right? Can I be refused smp or company mat pay for being off sick when pregnant? It sounds wrong to me but I would like some clarity please xxx
Please help
