I Have Just Been Told I Am Pregnant and I Am Worried About My Job -- 48-Hour Action Pack

You have just found out you are pregnant. You are worried about what your employer will say, what your rights are, and whether you are protected.

You are. And the protection starts today -- not after two years.

This 48-hour action pack tells you exactly what to do right now to protect your position before you say another word to your employer.

What is covered: the two legal claims available from day one (automatic unfair dismissal and pregnancy discrimination), your employer's immediate obligations, a five-step action plan, what to do if they call it redundancy, the priority vacancy right, and your time limits.
