Pregnant on deliveries

[ThompsonH]

I'm pregnant, told my managers around a fortnight ago and I am now not being let to do deliveries and kept inside building door to door material, I've been told I can't pick up any overtime as there aren't any extra inside hours - I've said multiple times to different managers I am quite happy to go out and do deliveries as usual, I feel fully capable, I'm feeling really down at the prospect of spending the next 6 months indoors and not being able to take on overti e as this has been over half my wages, not being able to get this will impact my maternity pay. Apparently they are waiting for a risk assessment to be done

You will have to wait for the risk assessment like they said.
Kudos to your manager/s, most never bother.

unfortunately they cant risk you falling or something happening which puts you and your child to be at risk, the potential lawsuit and PR mess isnt worth the hassle to them, so they always play it safe.

It's just frustrating, my earning potential is being taken away, I understand the playing safe as they are obviously worried about hitting the headlines for something happening to me.
