I’m currently a manager in a retail store and thought I was clued up completely on my rights… Until now ive fallen pregnant im currently 17 weeks and my manager is being inconsiderate due to the fact I have had abit of time off as ive been bleeding and been in alot of pain. She herself has recently come off maternity leave so i thought she would under but clearly i thought wrong. Even down to comments when i told her i was pregnant at 6 weeks but i was bleeding (i made her aware i havent yet even told my own mum so was very scared in terms of what i was going through as i felt had no support until i told her) she mentioned ‘if you was having a miscarriage you would know’ at the time i was taken aback by the comment but looking at it now it was completely the wrong thing for her to say. My main concern is recently we had a meeting where she asked me if i felt i was still capable of the job as ive had alot of sick days recently. I feel as though she was indirectly asking me whether i would want to step down which again im sure is not okay for her to do. In the meeting she also made me aware because some appointment days i am unable to make it to work before my appointment time due to working an hour away from the hospital and not driving. She informed me if i cannot attend work beforehand then i need to make up the time later in the week. Im struggling myself to even work my contracted hours due to extreme tiredness and feeling under the weather constantly. as far as i am aware she cannot ask me to make up the time but she still is. Again shes only giving me 30 mins for appointment time when some of my appointments can be an hour long and i can be waiting in the waiting room for up to an hour alone. She said if i go over the 2 hours reasonable time shes giving me for the appointments that she will need to approve me to be paid so i need to tell her as soon as i know. ( i enter all my own time cards she just overseas and signs it off ) I feel two hours when the hospital is an hour away and i have to get two busses which are not reliable is not reasonable also. I have asked her to put this all in an email 6 days ago which she said she would do. This morning i asked her again to which her only reply was ‘are you available for a call at 5pm’ No comment on when id receive this in writing, if she doesnt give to me in writing can i still take this further? If she does give to me in writing but changes her tune and actually goes with the policy can i still take it further for the original comments and things shes told me to do. Thank you
