'I had worked hard in that job, I had never taken a holiday in order to be available for shifts and then I was treated like that.'
A WAITRESS who won nearly £20,000 after being sacked on maternity leave and turfed out of her workplace"while holding her baby" fears she will never see a penny of compensation.
"I had worked hard in that job, I had never taken a holiday in order to be available for shifts and then I was treated like that."I was just so stressed but then I had the relief of winning my case and proving that I could stand up for myself and my daughter. A lawyer acting on behalf of Mr Kennedy and Mr Bell said his clients are"entirely sympathetic" with Kirsty's situation and"hope for a positive resolution".Kirsty was initially told in 2021 that she would not receive maternity pay as Covid-19 had had a severe impact on the business.
In WhatsApp messages seen by the Glasgow Times, staff members openly discuss Kirsty's pregnancy and cast doubt on her needing time off for an amniocentesis test.
