16 weeks...would i be mad to apply for new job?
things at work arent great and theres a lot of changes going on...people leaving etc. if i wasnt pregnant i would definitely be looking for another job....but as i am pregnant i was waiting until after my mat leave to make any decisions. BUT ive just seen a job i would love, that im qualified for, advertised....and i dont know what to do!
i dont know whether anyone would look twice at me - obviously being pregnant! (yes i know discrimination laws etc but how on earth could you prove it?)
and i know i wouldnt be entitled to mat benefits as such, but would i be entitled to anything at all? in my current position i only get 90% for 6 weeks, then ??112 for 32 weeks (or whatever it is...) so its not like id lose much....
ohhhhh why dont i ever do things the easy way?!?

I think that it means you get ??112 a week, same as statutory maternity pay, you just lose the extra for the first 6 weeks.
well losing 90% for 6 weeks probably isnt worth missing out on an opportunity for......not sure DH will see it that way lol!
ill send off for application form and see how scarey that is!
thanks again!
