Welsh female civil servants are the sickest

[Sysman]

Wife is a nurse and works with someone who had baby - came back for week went off sick for a year or so. Not getting paid at all now but of course her job is open if she ever wants to come back.

But it means they can't recruit anyone else too.

A head teacher I used to know complained bitterly about that situation ("unsettling for the kids etc") and would deliberately avoid recruiting anyone she thought might get pregnant.

A newly wed lass stood no chance of getting a job at that skool. I don't think that was the intention of the legislation, but that was how it worked out.

I had 2 months off with a nervous breakdown. Then worked like a Trojan since. Quite looking forward to some bench time.

You mean like a cover for knobs?

must admit it can be quite challenging when you have them falling pregnant weekly. we have one all female team (if you discount the chap who bats for the other side) and there was a spate "I'm pregnant!" and almost the entire team were replaced by temps. We even had a chair women of child bearing age weren't allowed to sit in.

That's probably the reason for many contracts when you come to think about it
