A boss fired one of his employees when she came back from maternity leave pregnant again.
Nikita Twitchen was getting ready to resume her role as an office administration assistant at First Grade Projects when she lost her job. She started working at the Pontypridd-based company in October 2021 and went on maternity leave in June 2022 shortly after becoming pregnant.
In her testimony at an employment tribunal, she described her working relationship with managing director Jeremy Morgan as “very good,” noting that he had been “very responsive” whenever she needed to talk to him.
After giving birth and preparing to return to work, Twitchen attended a return-to-work meeting with her boss on February 17, 2023. The meeting began positively, with Morgan expressing excitement about her return and agreeing to her work hours.
However, it came as a shock when Twitchen disclosed her new pregnancy at eight weeks. While Morgan claimed to have congratulated her, Twitchen disagrees with that assertion.
When her maternity leave ended on March 26, no one from First Grade reached out to confirm her return to work, even though she was expecting to be back on April 3.
Chasing a response from Morgan, he eventually responded: “It’s best to leave it until you have your routine in place.”
On April 4, Twitchen inquired about her holiday entitlement for later in the year, but he surprisingly didn’t provide a substantial response.
After further follow-ups, Morgan called the mother on April 18 to inform her that she was being made redundant due to financial issues and delays in payments to the business.
