A shop assistant who was fired for exercising her right to maternity pay has won almost £30,000 in damages.
Louise Irvine reported boss Paras Vijay Patel to the taxman after he refused to pay her when she went off work to have a baby, an employment tribunal heard.
Then when she returned to work the 32-year-old mother of four was sacked after Mr Patel told her he could no longer afford to pay her.
