I work for a small charity that is doing ok but is by no means secure in the long term.
I have worked there a few years & am finally being made full time in a few months. I have nothing in writing to confirm this & no contract, even for my original post. The verbal offer was made a week before I found out I was PG.
I have a copy of an old organisational employment contract which I was told would in all likelihood remain unchanged but for one reason & another contracts were never issued.
The maternity scheme is quite generous (12 at full pay & 6 at 50%) & was obvs written in better financial times.
I haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet, I'm very early on. I have a good relationship with my boss which I don't want to jeopardise by seeming underhand in insisting on a new contract & then telling. If they try to change the terms I'm sure it will be more because of what can be afforded, but by the same token I can't afford to take a pay hit & it is what would have been in my original contract.
The more notice I give the better it can be planned for.
They've always been great employers, should I just trust? My fears are being told I can no longer go full time or having the maternity section of the contract revised.
I intend to only take the 21 weeks, using my contact days to go in & help out as well as do some work from home & then return full time.
