PREGNANCY  DISCRIMINATION

 I was in a really vulnerable place...the way the team handled my complicated employment issue was absolutely outstanding. Honest and caring. I cannot recommend them enough.

Whilst pregnancy and motherhood can be an amazing life experience, it can also be daunting, relentlessly demanding and overwhelming.  And just at a time in their lives that women need the most support, sadly they are all too often discriminated against at work. This can be extremely distressing and shocking. 

What does pregnancy/maternity discrimination look like?

Some examples include:

  • sacking someone soon after a pregnancy announcement

  • refusing time off for medical or antenatal appointments

  • passing over a pregnant person for training and/or promotion

  • making someone redundant or cutting their pay whilst on maternity leave 

  • bullying or harassment due to pregnancy 

If any of these things seem familiar, you are protected in law and may have a claim. And unlike many other areas of employment law, you do not have to have been with your employer for the minimum 2 years to take action.

This was a very stressful time for me. I really appreciated Amit understanding my ‘out of my comfort zone feelings’. He took control and negotiated a settlement without me having to keep reliving the whole ordeal.
