Update on working while having a newborn and not taking maternity pay

[BluueVelvett]

I just wanted to thank you all for your messages about me doing the 3 x 25 minutes work with a newborn. I wasn't aware of KIP days and you guys brought them up and offered me links, and I managed to speak to my employer about it today and it has been confirmed I will get both maternity pay and I'll be able to take those 10 KIP days which will cover me for 10 weeks of my side job (1 day a week).

A huge weight off my shoulders and I can now start relaxing!

Thank you all!

Would have been better updating the existing thread. Why start a new one?!

Apologies... I just wanted to say thank you..

@NeedAnExpert bit harsh!
Glad it worked out well OP

I get that. There would be a better chance of the people that helped you seeing it on the original thread though.

This is like dropping a thank you card in the street and hoping your neighbour finds it.

@NeedAnExpert dont be a dick.

I have now updated the original thread

KIT days?
I'd expect to be napping on a KIP day 😂

Glad you're sorted!

NeedAnExpert what use are you actually being other than letting everyone see what a knob you are ?

The op can start as many threads as she wants, in fact starting this one may draw other posters in the same situation onto the thread and the useful advice can be shared.

Op, enjoy your time to relax and your squishy newborn.

You know it makes no sense, but nice try!

There's a nicer way to say what you said need

OP, that's fab, enjoy your little one.

NeedAnExpert..cheer up you miserable old fart. That's great news op!

Great news.

Great news!

Add me to the list of people who managed to find this new thread with no problems.

And have a whole bunch of people not RTFT and pile on with irrelevant posts?

New thread is a much better idea.
