I was working between 30-35 hours per week for a hotel where my fiance was a manager. I found out I was pregnant & slowly my hours started to be reduced. My Fiance left his job and we are currently living of his savings till we move in January. The problem is I should still be working but as soon as he left they cut my hours down to being non existant. I had 2 weeks with no work & then was given about 20 hours when the manager wasn't there. The last day I went in it was really busy as always andat the end of my shift I went home and my partner told me he has a text from the owner saying I wasn't needed because it was quiet and hardly anyone was booked. Obviously a complete lie as I'd gone in not knowing about the message. I don't think I can claim any benefits and because I'm doing no hours a week I don't even think I can get much maternity pay. I phone and ask if I'm on the rota each week but I'm always palmed off by they can't find the rota or it's not done yet and the manager will call me which she never does. I think they've even hired new staff because one time when I phoned it was someone new who I didn't know and they didn't know me. I've tried looking for a new job but this area is terrible and it's near impossible being pregnant. I plan to do temp work when we move but I have to wait for the lease on our flat to be up before we move.
