Hello ladies,
I am not sure what to do. I currently work for a charity and they have the policy of having to pay back mat leave (the part that is not statutory) if you don't go back. The thing is I had to take such a big pay cut to get a job in a charity I'm now wondering if it's worth going back and with another kid in childcare I might need to ear a bit more. Obviously I don't want to pay back mat leave as I will need the money. I was wondering however how open you can be about only going back for those 3-4 months that I need to go back for that will enable me not to pay maternity back to them? The scenario I have in mind is that my boss will recruit a mat leave cover and this person will leave when I go back, then after a month after I'm back I'll have to give them notice which is going to make her quite cross, but what can I do if this is the policy? Or can I say before going back that I'm only going back for a short period? Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks in advance
