SMP?? CAN THEY DO THIS??
I have been working with the local council for a year on a temporary contract, i am 27 weeks pregnant.
I was advised all along my contract would likely be extended as every other colleagues has but BOY WAS I WRONG.
Ive been chasing them upfor months and they have told me my contract will be extended - by ONE MONTH only.
Will i still be entitled to my SMP??????
Im panicking im gonna have no money - i have bills to pay and am gonna be a single mum and feel soooooo stressed i ust wanna cry.
They interviewed me for another temporary post (doing exactly the same job ) yesterday and have just told me i was "unsuccessful" although no reasons as to why.
Theyre doing this cos im PG but i cant prove it.
What do i do???? xxxxxx

They sorted me out anyway or try local cab office and they will tell u where u stand x
This pregnancy has been so hard so far with SPD and last week i spent 4 days in hospital with unexplained bleeding.
Im doing this alone and have been trying so hard to pay off debts and sort myself out (moved home to parents as wanted to save a deposit for a mortgage instead of renting which was too expensive)
Everything seems to go wrong i feel so low i just wanna burst into tears right here at my desk xxxx
also u should c ur local citizens advice bureau as im sure they can't do this you as it is discrimination.
hope you get everything sorted soon xx
But theyve been hiring new staff (same job as me) and given them longer contracts and have also been advertising new posts (again same job as me) but made me go for an interview and then said i wasnt suitable??
Ive been doing the job and working my arse off for a year for them.
Just emailed HR and told them im bringing the start date for my maternity leave forward to the end of june.
My midwife offered to sign me off sick due to my SPD two weeks ago and like an idiot i refused so that i would make a good impression at work - some good that did!!! xxxx
