Maternity leave

[milkyman]

m aware you need to give 8 weeks notice to return. Does this include if you wish to take 52 weeks (i.e. you would give notice at 44 weeks)? Do I need to let employer know if I want to take Additional Maternity Leave?

I was told to give 8 weeks notice if I am planning on returning before the year is up. If no changes to my contact.

If take the full amount of ordinary or additional maternity leave you don't need to give notice of return. You only need to give notice if returning at any other time.
