My current maternity leave finishes on 30th July (I've not taken any unpaid leave so I think I've just taken OML?) and my 2nd baby is due 16th November. According to my calculations I get 6 weeks annual leave per tax year, so including what I had to take before my first lot of mat leave I've got I'm due back around 8th September (I say around because my work jump between counting leave in days or hours and they may make me take some of next year's like they did the first time so it may change by a couple of days). Earliest I can take 2nd mat leave is 1st September so my plan is to "return" to take my holiday entitlement and then go straight back onto maternity. HR have been ignoring my emails and calls but the last I heard from them they told me that my remaining annual leave lasted until 14th August. I'm guessing that means that's how much holiday I've accrued so far, but surely I'll continue to accrue holiday while on holiday and mat leave, therefore I'm entitled to the same as if I was working the whole time? If they don't let me take the rest of the leave I'll lose it as I'll still be off on mat leave by April 16. I gave them my dates months ago but they keep fobbing me off.
Am I on the right track with this?
