A HAIRDRESSER has won a payout of almost £90,000 after she was “effectively demoted” to cleaning and making tea after she told her employer she was pregnant.
Kayleigh Flanagan eventually quit her job and took her employer to an employment tribunal claiming constructive unfair dismissal.
Ms Flanagan said that she noticed an “immediate change of attitude towards her” after she told employer Amy Jury of her pregnancy.
