Hello all. Hope you are all okay.
Need some more advice, I have already rung ACAS regarding this matter but the lady I spoke to didn't really make herself clear, I am going to phone back but I just thought I'd check in here first and see if any of you have any advice. Its a long story, so here goes:
I currently work for a company that I have worked for for the past 4 years this year. We got taken over by a different company in January/February last year. I haven't (nor any of us have) signed a contract with this new owners, so all I have at the moment is a contract from 2008 saying I am a Night Care Assistant - which I aren't anymore I am or should I say WAS Laundry Assistant.
Now, bearing in mind I am 20 weeks pregnant this Sunday - I had a few days off 2 weeks ago and returned to work on the Friday to be told that I was no longer Laundry Assistant and was now the Cleaner and my hours were been cut. Are these people allowed to do this with no notice what-so-ever and especially when I am pregnant? This is giving me more to do and I was always told I should have lighter duties.
I am NOT happy about this situation and I have told the area manager and all she said was put it in writing and she didnt know whether or not I needed notice for them to change my job role and cut my hours.
ANY help would really be appreciated. :(
