I've just been informed I'm laid of from Microsoft Vancouver Canada. My termination date will be in June. I'm 6 months pregnant and my manager was aware; we had started to talk about my mat leave in August, albeit not documented in written format, just over Microsoft Teams calls. Do I have a case to negotiate to get the full maternity and top-up benefits from the company?

Your maternity leave will also likely be a factor in assessing your entitlements. It’s also important you speak with an employment lawyer as soon as possible.
