stuff your job where the sun dont shine.

my daughter is 12 wks pregnant . She worked in a nursing home and was still being expected to lift residents in and out of bed and the bath. After several comments off her boss she told not to politely where she could stick her job. She will now have to go on .J.S.A. until she can find another job(big if on that one). What i want to know is will she have to wait until she can get this because she has given her job up of her own accord?

i think you will find that if she has given up her job she will not be able to make a claim for JSA for a number of weeks.

Whether pregnant or not she should have been using a hoist for getting people in and out of the bath, or if they are non mobile out of bed.

thats one of the reasons y she left hoists belts or anything were never used they did have them but all other care workers dident use em cos the resies dint like em ??? Someone has told her that because shes pregnant and because she felt that she dident feel safe in the job she was doin she should be able to claim straight away???? she has an appointment at the job center next weds so will just have to wait n c.

[Rosetta]

She might have some difficulty so I would suggest she visit her local CAB, preferably before her appointment at the Job Centre.

Good luck

The best thing your daughter could have done was refuse to lift people up and do anything heavy, it sounds like that nursing home needs shutting down its breaking the law by abusing and putting them selfs and clients at risk, your daughter is better of doing what Rosetta said about going to CAB and seeing where she stands because like others have said you have to wait weeks to claim any money if you have quit a job.

if the nursing home is providing the equipment to be used in lifting and moving people, then it is your daughters choice if she dosent want to use it. It matters not a jot that she "didn't feel safe" - the equipment to make her safe was there provided for her, yet she didn't use it.
