How many weeks pregnant will your wife be when the 1 months notice period ends?
When half my department was made redundant 2 years ago, one of my colleagues was pregnant. There was no issue of discrimination- we were all at risk & she didn’t apply for the few roles left. However, she found out that if you’re pregnant & made redundant x amount of weeks before your EDD you’re entitled to the mat pay you would have received had you continued in employment (and still get redundancy).
I can’t remember the cut off number of weeks. It may have been at the earliest point when you can elect to got on mat leave. This wasn’t noted in her at risk letter & where they calculate the potential payoff. When she asked our local HR dept about the mat pay they said she wasn’t entitled, so she provided the relevant documents (probably from govt websites). They didn’t have a clue and had to get head office HR to confirm this was the case and I think they even had to do a lot of research rather than knew the answer outright. And this was at a large company (one of the ones saying sorry this week!)
Hope it all gets resolved in your favour. My wife & are are in the same position- I was made redundant last year & she’s expecting, so we know what it’s like for you.
