Hi all
I am currently in mat leave although dd isn't due for another few weeks.
I have my annual appraisal in March that I have requested I use a KIT day for. There has been a new structure out into place within my team which comes into play from 2nd January, and I as I am already underpaid for what I do but left having smashed my target, I am hoping to get a very substantial pay rise that will bring me in line with industry standard. I am in north east and they recruit people in London on 14k more than me a year so I know they have the ability to pay more.
I also realize though my employer doesn't pay well in the north and a payrise isn't completely likely so I am preparing to look for something else once my daughter is born and I have for passed those first few weeks with her. I will be speaking to my employer and if there is no scope for a payrise, I intend to let them know I plan to look for something else.
What have your experiences been of you returned to a new job after mat leave? What response did you get from prospective new employers about you having just had a baby?
I am very fortunate that my dh will be working 4 days a week instead of 5 to allow me to return to work full time. Although we have to pay for 4 days childcare, we so have good family support when needed.
