Hi all,
I've recently applied and had an interview for an additional contract for extra hours at work. I applied a couple of weeks ago and HR and my manager knew I was pregnant obviously and when I am due. The contract is initially temporary until October (I'll leave for Maternity in September, but the contract will more than likely be renewed then made permanent for the successful candidate). The response I have had is that I had a great interview and unforunately due to my maternity leave I've been unsuccessful and they can't award me the hours. It actually states in the email this is the reason why I didn't get it.
Surely I should have been advised if this was the case before I even had an interview, why bother interviewing me for them then to say this? I want to know my rights just before I reply to my manager if anyone has any experience of this.
