Try playing that card and you will lose.

Sounds like HR dynamite. The sort of thing that if it got out would take down a business. Nearly as bad as Phil Neville’s tweets.

You’d have the boys over from head office sharpish.

Brimmer_Bradley · January 25, 2018, 5:52pm

Not my area but it’s in almost all contracts now that you have to complete a probationary period before permanent status is applied.
If you’re not up to scratch you’ll be left go.

mikehunt · January 25, 2018, 5:54pm

Ah here. U get rid cos she’s not up to it not cos she’s pregnant.

How the head honchos at Manchester United must wish they had written probationary periods into the contracts of the vast majority of their signings in recent years.

And who pays the wages during pregnancy ? Is it the employer or is it paid through PRSI? Over here the first 30 days of sickness are paid by the employer but then the PRSI pays up to the birth and throughout the (12 month) maternity leave.

balbec · January 25, 2018, 5:57pm

Need more than just your word against hers.

Tim_Riggins · January 25, 2018, 5:59pm

Yeah you would be in big trouble.

Brimmer_Bradley · January 25, 2018, 6:03pm

It’s discretionary. No company is obliged to pay maternity. That’s paid for by your PRSI.
Some company’s do top up their employees salary to their full pay as the maternity payment may be well short of the working salary.

mikehunt · January 25, 2018, 6:57pm

Ye must get nothing done with that can’t do attitude. Do u follow all policies and procedures?

backinatracksuit · January 25, 2018, 7:06pm

Mate, have i followed this thread wrong or are you not suggesting that somebody fire a woman because she is pregnant??

anon61956325 · January 25, 2018, 7:14pm

No. He’s saying you find another reason to fire because she’s pregnant. Keep up dum dum.

mikehunt · January 25, 2018, 8:26pm

Fired for being dishonest from the start.

backinatracksuit · January 25, 2018, 8:30pm

I haven’t read much, missed the dishonest bit

Sidney · January 25, 2018, 8:39pm

You appear to be making this assertion on the basis of something very silly, like “all women are duplicitous bitches”, or something like that?

That would seem to be the only possible explanation as no actual evidence of her “dishonesty” has so far been provided.

Juhniallio · January 25, 2018, 8:41pm

I know cases where this has happened and the small business has really struggled to survive. It would break my own company if we had to pay a wage to a person who wasn’t working for whatever reason. I’m not saying it’s right but there should be some level of cop on involved here or more detailed legislation with regard to how much a company should pay if someone is on maternity leave.

anon61956325 · January 25, 2018, 8:46pm

She wasn’t lying - she just wasnt forthcoming with private information…

Is it against the law to ask whether a candidate will knowingly require any extended period of time off (other than holiday leave) over the next 12 months - and if so how long?

That can be aimed at both male + female candidates - everyone knows where they stand at least from there.

Tim_Riggins · January 25, 2018, 8:56pm

I thought @mikehunt was a caring and compassionate guy?

Fagan_ODowd · January 25, 2018, 9:00pm

Ah ffs. You don’t have to pay their wages. It’s covered by PSRI. Some employers decide to continue to pay full wages as a perk, others don’t.
