My employer has behaved terribly during my maternity leave:

  • Made me redundant
  • Failed to consult me
  • Failed to offer a suitable role (despite advertising one)
The above are to name a few, after months of back and forth dispute and their time delaying tactics they have entered into a Without Prejudice settlement talks. Their offer, PILON + 1 months salary ex gratia. My solicitor thinks its a joke and is going back to them but I wanted to hear from others who perhaps have had similar experiences. What was the final outcome? Did you end up at ET or did they meet you somewhere reasonable. Given the current market it’s going to take me a good few months to find a role and not to mention the stress i’ve had to deal with this while on maternity leave just infuriates me.

Whereabouts are you in you mat leave, and how long is it?

If youre due to be off a year and are due to return then PILON and a month is a very different offer than potentially 11 months full paid Mat leave plus PILON and an extra month for example. Id say trying to find a new role right back from Mat leave is hugely stressful. So sorry you're going through that.
