A hairdresser has won £7,500 after being sacked four days after telling her boss she was pregnant again. Siobhan Black was still on maternity leave following the birth of her first child when she informed Evelyn Drain she was expecting for a second time.
The pair agreed that she would still return to work later that week, an employment tribunal heard. But at the end of her first day back she was told by Ms Drain that she was being laid off.
The salon's owner claimed she was making her redundant for business reasons. But the tribunal found Miss Black was being discriminated against for being pregnant and awarded her compensation.
