Hi
i was wondering if by law i can request to reduce my hours at work. They know im pregnant because i told them the day i found out. I work in retail and heavy lifting was part of my job. Im finding that 9 -5.30 five days a week is too tiring for me at the moment. It doesnt help that because of the way the rota works i work 6 days in a row every 2 weeks. As of this friday it would have been 2 weeks since ive told them and they havent done a risk assessment yet. Infact sometimes i believe the manager forgets that im pregnant and expects me to do things like i did before which i cant.
In the whole day break wise i only get half an hour which is split into a ten minute breat at 11am and a 20 minute break at 1pm. They wont let me have any more breaks. After all im only pregnant.
What do you all advise?
Thanx
