Hello there!
Last year I moved to the UK and found a permanent job at a very nice company. I love my job. Me and my husband are trying for a baby, but I have no idea what the rules and regulations are concerning maternity leave and when I would return back to work in a part-time position.
My contract says I have the right on maternity leave. How many weeks is maternity leave exactly? In my old country you get 16 weeks ML and most employers take you back in a part-time position. Because I don't know how this is regulated in British law, I am scared that I will lose my job after ML. That would be devastating to me. I want to work, be independent, contribute to the economy and be respected.
So, could someone please explain to me what the most common procedure is, during and after maternity leave?
Thank you very much!
