Hello,
I've got a bit of a tricky situation... I have been working for my boss for 2 years now, however recently (beginning of August) officially moved to a different company - my bosses second business.
Meaning officially according to contract I've only been working in this company for 2.5 months.
I am due end of May, so I will be just about eligible for maternity pay, however I was wondering if this would change if I told my employer about the pregnancy earlier than the legal minimum?
I am struggling with nausea and could easily work from home, however not without a valid reason so I was considering telling them early.
I don't want to risk my job or maternity pay though as my boss is very business focussed and won't pay a penny if he found a way not to be forced to by law.
Anyone hs an idea what the legal situation is here? I will be working for the company for 6 months by the time I have to tell them, but trying to find a way of not having to hide it for that long and still get my right for maternity leave and pay.
I'm grateful for any advice :)
