working problems

Hey guys I dont think this is in the right spot but it was the only one to do with work.
So yeh I got a job at jb hifi and then fell pregs like 4 days later(we worked it out) so I did the right thing when I found out last week and told them Im Pregs and that I need them to know that so I dont lift heavy boxes or climb ladders. Any way I have now had all my stats double and I feel like they are trying to get rid of me by doubling my work load and then making it so I dont meet my performance criteria and then sack me well thats how I feel and it all started when I told them I was pregs. I dunno what to do

dont stress about it, i got pregnant, started getting wicked morning sickness then was made redundant! angry most important thing is your health, work comes second

Like The last post said, your health comes first, however stick it out as long as you can and if they do sack you I would take them for unfair dismissal. Call the Ombudsman if it comes to that, the number should be in the yellow pages, they're really helpful and you should win! I'd been at my job for 2 years before I fell pregnant and even then they were really unsupportive towards me. It just shows the type of bosses that are out there.
Good luck!

but they can say its cos Im not doing the job I was hired for. I cant help it if I cant get the sales. they can dismiss me for that n say its nothing to do with pregnacy ad what will I win? a job I wouldnt wanna go back 2?

you wont get maternitly leave koz you were not there for mre thn 6 months before getting pregnant anyway, but they cant mke you do the heavy lifting etc as you have told them you are pregnant, suggest that somebody helps you with the heavy lifting and see what boss says

I dont want maternity leave Im not going back after its more te fact I feel they r trying to get rid of me before I get to that point n if they try to make me lift sumthing heavy I will tell them were to stick it lol

From a HR perspecitive, a pregnant woman lifting heaving boxes becomes a OH&S issue. If you're not comfortable suing them, Workers Compensation would love to take on that matter.

If however, you haven't been asked to lift heavy material or climb ladders and its the issue of increased workload, check your employment contract. If the new workload is in the contract, unfortunately you don't have much of a say.

Another avenue would be to receive a letter from your GP or OB advising that your workload is causing stress and significant ramifications to your unborn child. Legally, your workplace will have to follow Dr's orders and then you can negotiate your workload.

Don't forget, you've got sick leave. You may not be entitled to mat leave but there's always the baby bonus or paid parental leave scheme.

Goodluck, hope things at work improve.
