I'm returning to work in a few weeks after nearly 11mths mat leave, going in tomorrow for a general return to work chat. I'm going back in a slightly different role with a different pay structure. My basic salary is lower than other people in the role I am going back to. Someone with comparable experience as me has just left and I will essentially be replacing them. I know they were on about £1500 more than me. I have also just found out that they have taken on another person in the same role I'm going back to with no industry experience on approx £500 more than me. I also know everyone got a cost of living payrise a few months ago. Whilst I wouldn't expect them to discuss pay with me when I'm on mat leave, there was no mention of my salary before leaving. I get the feeling they expect to pay me my basic salary as it was, maybe with a small cost of living increase. I will not be happy with this knowing what I know. However, not sure if it's bad form to ask for a payrise straight after mat leave? But then I think I've had a baby not a lobotomy. Why do I feel awkward/guilty about asking for a payrise? How can I word it?
Oh and I'm going back part-time so would be pro-rata, so not actually going to cost them any more.
