Genuinely not sure where else to ask as am getting conflicting views from HR, ACAS, pregnant then screwed and others at work!
my workplace has summer hours every year from May - August. It’s where you can finish work at 12 every Friday.
Before I went on maternity leave a co-worker said to me to make sure I check whether summer hours are going ahead this year as I should be entitled to those half days accumulated as annual leave during maternity leave, since other staff members benefit from them.
HR have said no as it’s not a contractual benefit, however ACAS said it might meet the threshold, pregnant then screwed said I should be able to claim those hours back. So am a bit stuck and wanted to see if anyone on here had this before in terms of workplace ‘benefits’ on Mat leave.
Thank you in advance
