Jemima started a job at EasyKlean, a chain of dry cleaners, four weeks ago. She
works in a small shop and does not do the dry cleaning herself (although this is done
on the premises). She works behind the till, taking the clothes from the customers
and handing out tickets. She has just found out that she is pregnant, something that
she did not know about when she started work. Her doctor says that it would not be
good for her health or her pregnancy if she continued in her current role as the
fumes from the dry-cleaning fluid could have a bad effect.
When she told her manager of the pregnancy, he gets angry and says that if he had known that she
was pregnant he would not have given her a job.
1. What obligations does EasyKlean have in these circumstances?
2. Consider critically the rights and remedies available to Jemima?
