Can my employer penalise me if they think that I’m going to take or have asked to take adoption leave?
Your employer cannot penalise you if you seek to take adoption leave, or even if they think you are likely to take it. If you think that this is the case, you should talk to your trade union rep if you have one, and seek specialist legal advice to find out what rights you have.
