Is what my work doing illegal because im pregnant?

Your hours were cut before you were pregnant, and if you aren't guaranteed by your contract that you can take the extra hours, etc.then no, it isn't illegal.

Uh, by your own question, your hours were cut Jan 10, 11 weeks ago. You say you're 6 weeks pregnant. So your hours were cut over a month before you were pregnant. Obviously they didn't cut them BECAUSE you were pregnant, you weren't even pregnant yet.

It's legal.
How do you survive only working 12 hours a week ?

I assume you are working on a contract

so you are back to your contracted 12 hours

all they are saying is that they aint gonna renew it as it is when it runs out

There is no law says they have to renew it at all

"I have the message from my supervisor that states its basically because your pregnant and will be going on maternity"
I am not interest with what you think it "basically" says only the actual message
(this aint being aggressive- but I have heard a lot from from people who said a message "basically" said such and such when it said nothing of the kind
Maybe it did say what you claim - but maybe it didnt - only way to know is to read the actual message

Since you are going to CA take the message, cos they wont be interested in your interpretation of it either

It's legal if this is a zero hours contract, sure.

if you are only 6 weeks preggie, why are you telling everyone - especially your employer?
You have a 10% chance of miscarriage. Hope that's not you! But if it is, why would you want to explain this to everyone?!?

If you are preggie, are you even supposed to be around cleaning supplies?
- i'd be super careful about this if I was you!!

Instead of bellying-aching about not getting 6 hours of work a week, why don't you find a new employer. One that is safer for your unborn child. And don't tell them you are preggie until you start showing.

By the way, who is going to support the child. Working 6 or 12 hours a week isn't going to do it. I hope you don't expect to live off benefits (or are you already, working such few hours).

The only way an employee can be guaranteed hours would be with an Employment Contract. Even then, there could be ways around it for the employer. Without a contract guaranteeing you those hours, you have no right of expectation of any hours. The hours the employer gives you are up to him. The reason why he is not giving you the hours of a fired/quit employee is because they are likely looking to hire someone new and to do that, they need to offer a full day's hours. Otherwise, they are not likely to attract anyone who is looking for full time work.

The boss or owners have several things they need to consider. They need reliable employees, and they need enough of them so is someone calls out sick or quits, there is someone else they could call to cover for her.

I looked at your other questions, and you don't have a long work history. Additionally, you've agreed to 12 hours a week, meaning, you're taking it pretty easy. You were hired mid-December, your hours were cut less than a month later, as other pointed out before you were pregnant.

If I was in your employer's place, I'd be thinking "Only wants to work 12 hours a week + has already told me she's pregnant = doesn't really want a job. She will soon going to be telling me she's got morning sickness, can't work around chemicals, has to skip a shift for a doctor's appointment."

I don't know if you were great at cleaning or not. The fact that your hours were cut after three weeks hints that maybe your work wasn't up to her standards. Maybe you worked too slowly, I don't know. People who bust their butts at work to get the job done well and quickly often get as many hours as they want.

If you have a UK Zero hours Contract then they can do this.

no
