Hello. I’m after some advice on KIT days.
I am currently on MAT leave and have a series of 8 2-3 hour meetings I want to attend before my return.
My Line Manager agreed I could let these meetings add up to 2 KIT days, however I have just read the following on Maternity Action’s Website:
You can use a KIT/SPLIT day to keep up to date with what has been happening in your workplace while you have been on leave; to attend a training course or staff meeting; to complete a project or to help you settle back into work gradually at the end of your maternity, adoption or shared parental leave.
Even if you only work for part of a day or a couple of hours it will still use up one of your KIT/SPLIT days.
Am I being unreasonable if I go back to my Line Manager and ask if I can use the meetings as individual KIT days rather than adding them together?
I know I should have researched first but… FTM and was slightly overwhelmed in earlier months.
Appreciate any thoughts/advice/experience.
AIBU - you have agreed, leave it.
YANBU - worth asking the question
