When to inform company

[Ashbaby]

Hi Mummies,

When did you inform your CO after you realise you r pregnant.

[joopjoop]

I inform my company after the first 3 mths of my pregnancy. I also let them know my edd so that they have time to look for a replacement if needed.

Cos my company dont allow the staff to bring forward the annual leave to next year or encash it, so I also let my boss knows that I will be clearing my leave before i go for my maternity leave.

I informed my boss & hr when i was also around 12 weeks. I only tell to some of the close colleagues....I am now close to 15 weeks as the tummy still not showing so most of other colleagues didn't know i am pregnant.

[perrier]

me too. i also inform around 3 months into pregnancy

i informed my boss after 12 weeks...
After 1st trimester is the best cos pregnancy is considered stable, not supertitious or what... and dont inform too late cos company will need to do resource planning....
Unless, well,, if got bad MS and always MC, then cant really wait till 12 weeks right?

[shaynamommy]

Depends on nature of your job. I informed around 8 weeks cos my job requires travelling and I have to tell boss to avoid travelling.

After 12 weeks of course... think if not mistaken after 3 months if they wanna terminate you need to compensate you your maternity leave pay.. my stupid company discriminate pregnant woman so for me i had wanted to tell them as late into my pregnancy as i could unfortunately i couldnt so boh pian n i got a huge paycut!

Paycut?? no reason given even?.... sh*T!

I inform my manager when I am around 8 weeks because I need to take time off to visit gynae.

My company deicide to down size, so bo pian I have to inform my GM and HR about my situation.

I will service the company until end of the month and of course I get a very good compensation.

Frankly speaking, I work in the company less than 1 year. Appreciated my Manager try very hard to fight for me the good package.

I informed my boss after 8 weeks pregnancy..First 2 months i always had to take MC as my MS was really bad..But then again,my boss is sooo insensitive and would also scold me for always seeing doctor..!! She's not married,never been pregnant before so i guess that is a reason for her to behave
like that!!

my boss is okay but not my superior, he sux big times. He only care about work, and very insensitive towards us.

[cui_er]

I informed about 12 weeks plus. Boss just said congrats though I dont know whether he's really happy or not , haha. But should be ok , since i work there 3yrs plus and early early on already told them I'd plan for a 2nd kid soon.

[WEN_9117]

I Inform the company about 12~15wks later, Coz the time my gal gal is not stable.

[wawa]

I never inform my company, only asked my manager for opinion if I need to or not. She told me I can keep quiet if I want so I just keep quiet, anyway I also do not know to tell. Haha..

[Princess Diaries]

As for myself, i only informed my supervisor around 8 weeks +. Coz my office is shifting and im scared they want me to carry heavy things.. but i have no intention to tell the whole office yet...

[thechapterofjane]

I am now 8 weeks into my pregnancy.

I do not dare to tell my boss that I am pregnant as I just joined the company in March 2009. Donno if my boss will terminate me... very scared..
My boss is single and not married.. so donno if she will understand my situation.

now still waiting for my confirmation letter..

[Stan]

better get your confirmation letter first... if not, they can say you never pass probation.

yup... dont stress, not good for baby... she may or may not give you face to see...
just hold on and wait for your confirmation letter... then inform boss accordingly.....

[peacefulgal]

for me, i dont have a choice. my company is consolidating data of all pregnant staff in preparations for safety measures for H1N1. So i have to reveal it at such an early stage
