Hello ladies,
I have no idea if anyone can help me at all but here it goes :
i left on 30th sep last year to go on maternity leave, i always made it clear that i wanted to return a bit early then the year i had contracted off and that i wanted to go back 4 days a week and they said that would be fine, give the normal 8 weeks notice and it should all be ok.
Anyway, my work got taken into administration in june - now i was never told about this until i received a 2 week back dated letter saying that this was the case. obviously i called them to seewhat was going on and they said it should all be ok as they will probably get a buyer and things will carry on as normal.
so beginning of july i wrote my letter asking to come back, only never to get a reply. so i chased up my work 4 weeks later and finally got an answer saying the administrator had declined my request and that i could only go back end of sep full time. i never received anything in writing although i was told a letter was sent.
Now there is still not a buyer and redundancies look likely. i dont want to return to my job as i cant afford to be out of work if i get made redundant as i have been off alot longer than i already planned as they wont take me back. im applying for new jobs and have a couple of possible interviews, but is it necessary for me to tell the companies i have been on maternity leave and i havent yet gone back to work, will my current employer write on my reference how long i have been off. by the time i get a job i will have been off 12 months which i think will hugely go against me as i wouldnt have worked for a whole year - any help would be very much appreciated!!
