Having a really...

[Terri1884]

Hard time at work I am a sales assistant in a busy shop and can only do till work now I'm pg! I only do a 16 hour week but my boss keeps putting me on 2 x 8 hour shifts!! We don't have stools for the tills so I'm on my feet for the whole time! I've asked to do 4 x 4 hour shifts but her answer was ' 'if I need u for a full day I need u'!! It's killing me I have a condition called hyper mobility syndrome which basically is the same as spd but all the time! where my joints move to far! And ligaments and muscles are not strong enough! And pg has made it lots worse! I ended up coming home early today and felt so guilty that I left them short staffed! But I was in agony! Any one else had a similar situation or know if there is anything I can do?

I think you are going to have to speak to your boss again hun.

Is there anyone within your place of work that deals with HR? Do you have a contract and what does that say about your hours of work?

My contract is very basic and just says that I work 16 when ever they need me too I was thinking I might be able to get a note from the doctor! Not a sick note! More like a fit note! To say I can work but only 4 hour shifts!

That may be an idea hun, if work aren't being helpful then def try the Dr's!

Best of luck!

I went to the docs! Explained my situation and he wanted to sign me off!!!! I told him I didn't want to not work so he wrote me a fit note! so now I don't have to work more than 4 hours at a time which is such a relief! Feel loads better about going to work now
