During the Olympics we allowed people to work from home. One has requested to work from home full time since then. Do I have to agree if they say it worked okay during the Olympics?…

I am currently on maternity leave and have been working the same hours days and times for six years. We have recently been tupe'd so the new company are paying my maternity pay. i recently told them I was returning in September and found out they had employed six new members of staff and when I asked about my hours etc they said I'm on a zero hours contract so am not enitiled to my days, time etc back and that they will be shared out with new employees starting the same time. Can they do this? They have agreed as a good will gesture to pay me holiday pay for the hours I would have worked if i was still currently working. I have had a phone call today to ask me to attend a meeting as they are now changing my contract from zero hours (term time only) to zero hours 52 weeks a year and have said that if I don't sign my new contract I will not get any hours whatsoever! This is distressing me as I have 3 young children and need to work, but will now not have the school holidays off. I want to know where I stand with this all. Maternity leave is supposed to be relaxing bonding with your baby, but all I seem to have to deal with is a load of stress from my new employers.…

My colleague is on maternity leave and due back next year. In the meantime I have been offered her role and have an amendment to contract letter which stated my new job title, which is exactly the same as hers and doesn't say 'acting' or 'maternity cover'. However, it does say it is due to be reviewed next year when she is due back. The business does not want her back. I have been told this as they don't think she is very good, but I'm now worried that they have given me her job and what if she wants to come back? I totally get that it is legally her job, but where does that leave me legally?…

I'm currently appealing a grievance decision by my company not to return me to my previous role following 12 months maternity leave. The reasons were that they thought my maternity cover was a better qualified person to do my job. I would like to know my options after the appeal outcome if the company's position does not change. Do I simply resign... Is this constructive dismissal? Do I then look to make a claim? Is constructive dismissal my only option at the end of grievance proceedings?…

I have been employed for last eight months with my current employer and am five months pregnant. As per the contract, I am allowed to go on maternity leave after completing one year with the firm. I applied for maternity leave, but haven't heard from my manager. I was just told that I have performance appraisal next week and this will decide my maternity leave or benefits. I am bit worried, as I fear I might be fired. Is this legal for the employer to do? I am in a lot of stress because of this.…
