Hi all,
I am 27 weeks pregnant and as of last week have had the most terrible pain in my lower back, to the point I can't walk thanks to pelvic girdle pain. I have been off work sick since on ssp.
Up until this point I have worked full time in a very busy pharmacy and have been on my feet 8 hours a day.
I have spoken to my manager and they have said they can't see how they could adjust the working environment for me which I completely understand as I do usually have to be on my feet constantly and I do not have the option to sit at a desk or work from home within my job role.
I am just wondering what happens now. Do they have to suspend me with full pay? From what I've read it seems they have to. I am due to finish in three weeks anyway as I'm using holidays and then going on my maternity, will they just say stay off sick until then?
Thanks
