Underpaid from work

Anyone help please? I returned to work from maternity in November, I asked to be part time and the 20 hours I requested were rejected so I have to do 23.5 hours which is fine.

From January, I’ve been paid for 20 hours, I’ve been told it can take months (6-7 months) for the 23.5 hour contract to be approved. Not only that, I was overpaid when I returned to work so I have to pay back £100 a month.

Is this unfair???? I’m underpaid by £180 a month but have to pay back £100. I’ve emailed SO many people and causing me so much stress that nothing is being done to get this sorted quickly. Tempted to go off sick tbh! I work for the NHS, employee of 16 years and I feel like I’m being treated unfairly.

First step is to contact ACAS immediately. They're usually very helpful. They'll probably advise you to contact HMRC, but they will help you (I worked in payroll for many years, but have never worked for a company that have done this. This is just my guess at your best action)

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏

Why am I so pathetic...

I just cant walk away from this "friendship" that is so glaringly obviously one way..I go 3 days feel great and then just end up caving in and messaging to see how they are

I feel im worth more than this however something in me is clearly desperate to retain the 1 friend I have 😔 even writing this is sound so stupid
