Unfair Dismissal Despite Maternity Leave | Leicester News

A Leicester mum lost her HR job while on maternity leave after her employer, First Recruitment, quietly decided to axe her position — even before they met with her. Offered a remote-ruining gig in Dunstable, she declined, but the tribunal sided with her, calling the dismissal procedurally unfair for not exploring alternatives. Though she won, no back pay — since she’d likely quit anyway — but she’s still entitled to a smaller compensation payout. A cautionary tale: how you handle redundancy matters more than you think.
