Paid Members SiMania Posted February 18, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 Rant time!ok so, mid January i was offered the job of my dreams, and of course i took it. It was only a 3 months contract but my boss, the ward Sister, said that it was highly likley they would keep me on, providing i dont go off sick etc. I started on the 28th of Jan, i found out i was pregnant on the 25th. I decided that i wasnt going to tell them until the 3rd month, so that i would have a chance to prove how hard i work and how good i am at my job so that even though i was pregnant they would keep me on.Everything was going fine until my hyperemesis started i've been off work since monday.I'm having to go back and forth to hospital and how i havent been spotted by a colleague remains a mystery.I still cant bring myself to tell work. There are people that know, but none of the higher ups. I'm so screwed. I know i've lost my job. On thursday i asked the doctors whilst i was in hospital when i would be able to go back to work. I know she didnt mean to be nasty, but it kinda hurt at the time. She laughed out loud and told me to not even think about work for some time. And i could tell that meant a 'long' time I know that half of the way im feeling is down to hormones, but that doesnt stop me from crying non stop about this.I just want to stop throwing up and be able to drink and eat something i want to go back to work and make other people feel better What the hell am i gonna do??Sue them for unlawful dismissal?Last time I checked that wasn't a reason to fire someone.I also remember being told that they can't fire you/not give you the job for being preggers. (I remember cos I disagreed and said it weas bollox and that an unpreggers lady would be a better emplyee than a preggers lady, being that they would ge more work done. Apparently not)) But yeh, they can't fire you for that.She only has a 3 month contract, it'll simply not get renewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurryAngel Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 This thread is amazing. Fuck that Kerry Katona show, MTV missed out with this one.I really do think the next logical step is to give birth online via webcam. Would be possibly the greatest attention seeking event ever to take place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably if she asks why they did not renew the contract and they bring back the 'she got sick part' she would have a case.

They have no obligation to extend her contract, at no point have they suggested to her that they would. It's down to her to make them want to keep her. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond her control, she doesn't have the opportunity to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't become a solicitor will you.It's called a probationary period, its like a get out clause if in case the person turns out to be a liability. It's actually harder than people think to get fired, especially in a company like the NHS, ie nurse. As Chris said, she is on trial and needs to prove she is worth keeping on.

Tequila_Boy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 MAT said she was worried they wouldn't renew her contract because she was pregnant because they said they wouldn't if she got sick during the trial time etc, This to me sounded like she was worried thy would fire her/not renew her contract specifically because she was pregnant, which is illegal as far as I know.

They don't need a reason, it's a contract for a specific period which both parties signed. If you don't want to lose a temporary job at the end of the temporary contract then becoming pregnant obviously isn't the best move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Seven Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 No no, please, let the 16 year old virgin who's probably never worked a day in his life continue to edcuate us about the rights of the worker before he inevitably moves on to pregnancy issues and how to solve those too.
