Hi, I've never posted on this thread before because, well, I was managing OK but now I really need advice.
I work as a Recruitment Manager for a small company, and I've had a baby last year. He has been quite ill - nothing serious - but I've had to take some time off to look after him. I was told I had to take days off my annual leave I work three days a week and have loads of holidays accumulated, so it didn't really matter to me as long as could be with my son.But now, the company is making a real fuss if I have to take a day off holiday. What's my defence? How can I argue with them? Are there any rules/laws on my side for this?
Also, I am pregnant again and have told them that I wanted to take my maternity leave starting early February. I was told by my boss that I wouldn't be able to take maternity leave before I find a replacement for myself, and that there will have to be a one month handover period. I assume this is illegal, but can't find the relevant info to 'defend' my point either. Anyone could give me info/point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!! BP
