    Good Afternoon,
    I am hoping to get some guidance. I have recently found out I'm pregnant & have been with my employer for almost 3 years. I am quite concerned about how HR handles things like maternity etc. I had a girl in my team who was advised that she would be paid fully, then right before she was going off they said 12 weeks but ended up paying her in full (she introduced a solicitor). My concern here is that they will do the same to me, I am in a relatively high up role and have had insight to a lot of the litigation issues that have taken place. the employee handbook is not available and has been in review since August last year, therefore i'm blind to what the entitlements are. this is my 4th pregnancy and I do not have the energy to be messed around. I have a new boss whom i'll be sharing the news with on friday but I know the company will not pay me lightly..Can an employer decide to pay me less than the other person and is this even legally allowed since there is no handbook available? what are my rights in this scenario? thank you
