A restaurant manager has won more than £15,000 after she was sacked following her announcement she was pregnant and texted 'no hard feelings' by her boss.
Anna McKnight was 'ostracised' after telling Jonny Carruthers she was expecting and was deliberately given fewer shifts at the tapas place where she worked after experiencing sickness. The 28-year-old mother-to-be was then left 'surprised and upset' after she found out from HR that she had been 'P45'd'.
Mr Carruthers later sent her a WhatsApp message saying 'no hard feelings'. Now, Ms McKnight has successfully sued the restaurant in Greenock for pregnancy discrimination and unfair dismissal at an employment tribunal. Ms McKnight, whose son Goldie is now five months old, has won £15,365 after the 'underhand' sacking.
