Employer disgruntled over second pregnancy

Employer failing to pay out for business expenses

I have been experiencing ongoing issues with my employer with regards to business expenses. I have around £2,000 outstanding to be paid and I have been either paid late or small amounts very infrequently. I wrote to my employer back in September and they gave written assurances that they would pay and that the expenses would be cleared by February. Payment was made in October and November, but December arrived and only a very small payment was made. Since then nothing more has been received. I am very concerned that my salary for this month will not be paid. What should I do about this situation?

Employer is advertising my job

I signed up for a job agency and I found a job on the website an advertisement for a job that is similar to the job I am currently employed for in my company. The company has not brought it to my attention that they are dismissing me or making me redundant. What should I do?
