Pregnant and working
Extra breaks due to standing all day.
MommyGuest ·
Hello ladies
I had a question. My midwife told me today that I need to take more breaks at work since I keep getting really strong contractions and a sore lower back. Now my boss wants to force me to use those breaks as vacation time, but that's not allowed, right? I should have the right to extra breaks, shouldn't I? Does anyone know about this?!

The link above shows what rights you have regarding adjusted working hours. I don't think your boss can just do whatever they want. You could also ask the occupational health doctor at your workplace for more info.
