Question for anyone with a knowledge of rights when returning to work after maternity (in the uk)…?

I returned to work 8 weeks ago after having a baby. I was a fresh trading manager. I requested flexible working hours and was told that I could not do my previous job due to the hours that I could work. i was then offered ambient trading manager. This is what I am doing now.

I am on a 10 week trial. But my manager keeps telling me that the shop has never looked so bad. He said last week that if I left then I wouldn’t be missed. I think that he wants me to work until 10 pm at night, but i cannot do this because I get up with the baby.

i have the feeling that at the end of the 10 week trial he will tell me that I cannot do the job and offer me a lesser role of supervisor.

My questions are….what are my rights here? And if I did take a lesser role, am I entitled to keep my holidays and sick benefit etc?

A story for the Sex Discrimination Commissioner’s 2008 Listening Tour.

Key facts on Work and Family balance:
KEY FACTS

* Australia remains one of only two OECD countries that do not have a legislated paid maternity leave system.

* Paid maternity leave is used by around one third (34%) of employed mothers-to-be. Use of paid paternity or parental leave by male partners is even lower at 25%.

* 35% of men currently work 45 hours or more per week.

* Fathers of young children are likely to be working a greater number of hours than other men. The average working hours of employed partnered fathers with an infant is 46 hours per week.
