Is she not? Did someone get silly towards her again?

Was only a short term ban, but I think she's had enough and decided not to come back

I don!!!8217;t mean to condone their behaviour, I certainly don!!!8217;t want to appear that way. We are running a professional business here (trying anyway).

But this was a genuine oversight on my part. We should have looked into more before we took action.

So she could claim compensation for this??

It!!!8217;s a failing on our part, I admit that. But surely there!!!8217;s no legal claim?

I wouldn't be so sure about that. And even if there's no legal claim, what's to stop her going to the press, or telling all of your customers?

Sacking someone for becoming pregnant could be a 'genuine oversight'...


Yes potentially there is a legal claim. (and quite right too - no offence)

But you have condoned their behaviour, the minute you took what was said as gospel and acted on that without question

It was a genuine mistake. I would like to be able to aplogise and put this right.

This has GOT to be a troll thread. There's no way this can be real.

I think it may have gone too far for that.

You know an apology isn't going to hack it don't you?

Ignorance is not a defence. The argument would be - You SHOULD have known, in your position; failing that you SHOULD have sought advice.


I do feel sorry for you, and her, but just stop it now and wait until HR get back to you.
