Ditto.. I was supposed to work till tomorrow, however... I got a phone call one night and was told not to expect to have my job when I was finished Maternity Leave.. So.. after being there 9 yrs I called the labour board to at least find out what my rights were, which were that they did have to hold the job for me. The labour board called them and found out that they didn't want me to bring the baby to work, after... which they had told me that when I was ready to return to work, I could come back to work and bring the baby!! Go figure! So, anyways needless to say my blood pressure shot up after all of that, and when I saw my doctor on the 6th of June, she told that that was it.. I was going off on sick benifits. At least I didnt have to go back to work after all the stuff that was going on. So when I let them know I was being put off on sick they turned into jerks.. well more than they have ever been. Anywho they gave me guff for calling the labour board and told me that that was it for working for them, I may add that that is illegal. It is illegal to do that to an employee for calling the labour board to find out their rights. Oh well.. I am still waiting for my ROE from them, which is now 2 days over the amount of time they are allowed to get it to me and its more of a pain in the butt to do anything about it than it is to wait. You have just got to love our system! It totally sucks. So, now I sit and wait for my ROE so that I can get my Sick Benifits started and then maternity, as well as Paternity leave. Ughh.. I cannot afford to wait for ever.. so.. yes Im a little stressed and I know that doesnt help with the blood pressure. Its not easy tho with being strapped for cash and trying to get things taken care of for sick leave and STILL BEING PREGNANT lol Oh well what can I do?
Very frustrating thats for sure!
Take care girl..
