I started a new job last October, found out 2 months later that I was pregnant. Complete surprise and not planned at all, I felt a bit cheeky telling them as I was there such a short time but was all ok.
They're a small enough place and don't pay maternity which is fine.
I haven't taken any holidays yet this year as I wanted to carry them forward and do a 3 day then a 4 day week for the first while when I come back next year. I am also entitled to accrue holidays and bank holidays while I'm off.
To try and be as fair as possible to them, I'm working up to 39 weeks and have regularly been doing extra hours when needed.
Was talking to the boss today and he basically said that yes it was fine to carry over my holidays already accrued but he'd talk to me tomorrow about the other holidays that would accrue seen as I wasn't there that long anyway. Obviously I'm going to have to say no you can't do that as its against the law but I don't really want to have a row 2 days before I finish for 6 months.
I was looking forward to going back to the job, I really enjoy it but this has just made things really awkward now 
Didn't mean that to go on as long so apologies! Any advice on what I can say to keep it friendly but get my point across straight away?
