Hello,

I don't know if anyone will have the answer to this question.

I am 4 and a bit days pregnant and currently handed my notice in at work and have been accepted to work at the council and start in a weeks time.

As I haven't signed a contract yet, do they have the right to say they don't want me anymore?

I have read the pregnancy discrimination act 1974.

If someone could help I would be really greatful.

Best peeps to ask are Citizens advice they are ace and can tell you all you need to know babe. xx

Thanks hun.

I talked to my nice employment solicitor i hired a while ago and they advised that as there has been a verbal contract for me to start at the council, they would be forced to keep to their word.

I called them and the lady that hired me was brilliant, she was so nice and said that there is no way that it will effect there offer and it still stands but they will put safety procedures in place for me to start work.

I am so pleased now I just hope Stephen comes round to the idea a bit more.

Oooo, before I forget, do you have any cosy toes anymore? I need one for the winter for Gracie.

Love Jen x

I have a pink one and pink one with hearts a black one and blue ones listed

im pretty sure that they will have to take you oon but i think you have to be employed by them for 26wks to qualify for full mat pay.

Thanks Lorraine I will have a look in sec, I love cosy toes, Grace is too big for a blanket now in her pushchair.

Rachael-Jade - Thank you for that. I thought you are entitled to mat pay if you have been working for 26 consecutive weeks before your baby is due as long as you earn over a certain amount a week. I hope that is the case as I will have to go back to work asap.
