Hi,
I've been working as a therapist with the hse for over two and a half years on a variety of fixed term contracts. I've been in my current post for 2 years in april 09 and my last contract was a 6mth one which brings me up until Feb 28th. the thing is I'm pregnant and will start my maternity leave on 21st of Feb (this has not been approved yet). Just wondering if there is (1) any way they are able to NOT renew my contract because they've been renewing it on short term contracts for the past two years. Nothing about me or the job has changed, if fact they invested 6,000 euro in further training for me which will continue until December 2009 beyond the date of the end of my latest contract. Contacted union and they said not to worry and that they 'can't touch me' but cant help stressing.
All help appreciated, thanks!
