The general manager sent the pregnant worker a WhatsApp message that said 'no hard feelings' after she was sacked
A assistant manager at a restaurant who was fired because of her pregnancy has won almost £16,000 in compensation.
She worked at the venue part time while continuing her college studies. Ms McKnight was then offered a promotion to work as assistant manager at Fenwick under general manager, Jonny Carruthers. Her average weekly pay was £147.82 at this time. After discovering she was pregnant in January 2022, Ms McKnight informed Mr Carruthers and he congratulated her on the news, later sending her a WhatsApp on January 30 saying he would not be drinking the next week and said he "will kiddon I am preggers tae".In February 2022, she began to feel pain and sickness connected with her pregnancy and was open with her manager about this, but was largely able to work her hours.
Ms McKnight contacted Lynsey Penman, a member of HR, to discuss her maternity leave plans and her pay entitlements. It took four days before she was able to get in touch with her. He also sent her a WhatsApp message that said "no hard feelings" with no further follow ups. The next time the claimant heard from him, was in September, congratulating her on the birth of her son.
