Not all companies pay sick pay Imi and SSP is worse than SMP @£60 a week.

Others will only give you full pay for a number of weeks, often max is 4.

As it stands if they can't provide Katrina with a safe enviroment then BY LAW she has to be suspended on full pay until she goes on ML @36 weeks.

Not good today-my team leader had a meeting with the big boss who have both agreed they still see no problem with me out on the streets etc alone.

I said what happens if my leg dislocates again in the middle of the estate or a stair-he said well you have a mobile phone and u can call us and one of us will cum and get u! Ha.

I came home again upset, its not good for the unborn baby and rebecca me being this tense and stressed out.

Phoned up the Dr's to get appt but my own GP aint in til Monday.

I want to go to the GP but if I get signed off they will be mad.

I think I will just get the gp to write me a letter.

Oh and when I told my manager I would get the gp to write me a letter he said we will need to question whether ur medically fit or not for the job!I can do the job just not on the streets on my own ffs!

Knob!

Sorry for the rant, Im all over the place and dont know whats the right thing to do

Imi

Twat!!

He cannot threaten you with your job like that ... next time they call you in for a meeting take a rep with you to keep it all above board so there is also proof of what they have said!

He cannot say what he has about your job, if it comes down to it go to CAB hun ...

Your boss sounds like a knob!

I really think that its not safe and they can not bully you.

It may be worth ringing the HSE for advice on 0845 345 0055.

They will advise you on what to do and put u in touch with ur local office.

Ur boss is so out of order i could easily come and twat him one.

Well what a first prize NOB!!!

Don't let them get away with that shit!

Amanda

So? Sounds like a real knob, so who cares if he gets mad?

This is not right at all hun. Just don't go in tomorrow. Ring in and tell them you've been up all night with worry and being sick and you aren't coming in. You can sign yourself off for 7 days without a doctors note. It may give them the kick they need, but if not, just go to the doctors and get him/her to sign you off until 36 weeks.

You're right, this isn't good for either you, the baby, or Rebecca.

I wasn't going to say anything to you in case I scared you, but a friend of hubbie's works for the council homeless department, and his wife is in the same department. When she was 6 months pg, she had to go and serve an eviction notice on a family, and she was asked to do it alone. Her hubbie insisted on going with her, and it's a good job he did... they pulled a gun on her! She was 6 months pregnant and they threatened her with a gun!

It all worked out okay luckily, but nobody, and especially not a pregnant woman, should be put in a situation like this.

Council estates can be so bloody rough. 70% first class pricks! Sadly the good families get dragged down with them in the same area.

Amandas story doesn't surprise me at all. Sounds like the estate I was brought up on! Assuming alot of rough estates are the same & as you say Kx it is a known roughy.

Good luck hun by sounds of it you won't be going back anyway x x
