That's based here in Australia.

And here's another one.
matched
If you've had someone covering your role whilst you're away, that person does not have more rights to your job than you do.
matched
You're entitled to return to the same job before you have leave.
matched
The replacement employee doesn't override that.
matched
But the number one thing I wanted you to take away from this is
matched
That you cannot be fired for being pregnant.
matched
It's not a gray area, it's unlawful.

Okay, so let's get into the practical conversation.
matched
Because knowing your rights is one thing, but how do you actually sit down with your manager and say the words?
matched

matched
I found these both difficult for both of my pregnancies.
matched
I actually did it
matched
three times 'cause I um had one pregnancy that unfortunately didn't go full term.
matched
But then I've also had another one where I had then told them because I'd had a miscarriage and it was just so I've done it four times and it trust me, it doesn't get any easier.
matched

matched
If you can do this in person or on a video call, you might be working from home as part of your um transition, do it that way.
matched
It's harder for people to react.
matched
poorly when they're looking at you and even harder if in they're in the same room.
