  Contact Hi Ladies i have just popped over from wedding planning and need to ask a question hope you can help. My sister in law is 17 weeks pregnant and her boss at work is being a pain , and i wanted to ask if anyone knows on the rights on getting paid for appointments related to your pregnancy , i know that you do get paid for going to scans and midwife appointments , but today my SIL has got to go for bllod tests to see about diabetes , her boss said she is not entitled to get paid for this , i think she is because its related to her pregnancy so does anyone know if she is or not Thanks hope someone can help kelly x [url=http://www.ezticker.com/]
