Leaving job after matleave

[Homesweethome3]

Basically my manager called me about a month ago I’m on maternity leave and it’s the first time I’ve had any contact with them really apart from going into store and my staff discount no longer working and could no longer log into my workday app! Management was no where to be seen.

anyway she called up had a lovely chat actually asked how I was how the family was and to let me know I had 28 days left of my maternity leave and just wondering if I had an idea if I was coming back or not. I told her I’d love to but unfortunately due to childcare I will be regrettably handing my notice in. She was lovely about it asked if I can do it right away so she could process it etc and told me to make sure I add to I will be resigning at the end of maternity leave not sooner.

she said I could either email it or bring it in. I chose to email it, I emailed it to them on the 13th of February and I’m still yet to have a reply or any acknowledgment that they’ve received it. Normal pay day is this Friday and I have no idea if it’s been processed and if I’m getting paid the holiday money and any money I’m owed.

i get on well with this particular manager but the management as a whole aren’t very approachable one in particular told me I wasn’t disabled enough to need to use a seat when I was having a particular bad flare up with my scoliosis. Knowing my luck it will be her that answers the call.

am I being unreasonable to of expected a response from my work place when emailing over the resignation…. Even just telling me to do one would have even been ok at least I know it’s been read. I’d worked there for over 6 years

sorry to other posters thread I thought I’d created my own 💐 xx

They should have acknowledged your notice and gave you the date of which your employment will terminate . You should also get a copy of your P45 .

Did you hand your notice in on time within company policy ?

Be careful if you got any occupational mat pay they don't want it back.
They must have been not expecting you back though to have framed it like they have?

I'd phone and ask if they got your notice and can they please send you your P whatever it is by post.

I'd take is as that you've already spoken to your manager and told her you were leaving and that you'll be sending your notice in......so not sure what else someone different could say beyond that?

just an update I tried phoning them but unfortunately there was no manager available so I’m going to give them a call tomorrow.
luckily no I’ve already checked this with them I don’t need to pay anything back thank goodness.
I’m not sure what I wanted just acknowledgement they got it even just a middle finger emoji would of done lol instead of me living in wonder

Don’t forget your holiday entitlement. So if you have a month left and have to give a months notice and you have a years worth of annual leave then they should add this onto the end of your maternity leave. It could affect your pensions etc (it would in my case).
