The issue I have is that in the week prior to be going off on maternity leave in September (2 weeks holiday beforehand) there were some changes made in my company and my previously 1 man job was made into a team. My junior was made my manger, although no official communication was made, I found out accidentally.
I am returning to work next week, maternity ceased on 3rd March & I have been using my holidays up to now.
When I return it is highly likely that my role will have changed as it is impossible for 3 people (me, new manager & maternity cover - now a permanent team member).
What are my rights regarding this?
I have already voiced my concern that I was not offered the opportunity for the team manager role and I've not had any feedback as of yet.
If it went down the route of constructive dismissal would I be covered by maternity/pregnancy rights?
