hiya mammyjo!

does that mean you get paid for keeping in touch days, on top of SMP?

[JoMa]

you do indeed Runny, if I get the job I will be doing 10 days as a temp for my agency to use my keepng in touch days and get paid on top of Mat leave, then i'll become an employee of the new company

evening!, i think it's up to the employer if you get paid for KIT days. Not sure they HAVE to. But I wouldn't be going in if they didn't!!

[JoMa]

so, new thread....................

there's no law of sod at our commune by the sea

[NearlyHeddaslessNick]

oooo sod would be a dodgy word around these parts

[runnyhabbit]

Think I'm going to have to finalise my "back to work" plans. I've been putting off talking to my boss about it. Just need to sit down with a calender. Got some hols to use before the end of the year, so might go back earlier, but for less days iyswim

[runnyhabbit]

If he doesn't pay for the KIT days, then I'm not going to do it out of the goodness of my heart lol

Keeping in touch

During your leave it is often helpful to keep in touch with your employer. Your employer is entitled to make reasonable contact with you during maternity leave. This might be to discuss such things as arrangements for your return to work, or to update you on any significant changes in the workplace while you've been away.

Your maternity leave and pay will normally come to an end when you return to work. However, if the week your baby is expected to be born starts on or after 1 April 2007, you are entitled to do up to ten days work during your maternity leave without losing maternity pay or bringing your leave to an end.

These 'keeping in touch days' may only be worked if both you and your employer agree. Although particularly useful for things such as training or team events, they may be used for any form of work and should make it easier to return to work after your leave. You will need to agree with your employer what work is to be done on Keeping in Touch Days and how much pay you will receive.





so looks like they don't have to pay you a set amount, but it seems to suggest they should pay you

[JoMa]

not sure sod is offensive, think it was just the way it was used?

[NearlyHeddaslessNick]

I got something right for a change A rare event!!

[oooggs]

blimey runny - my return to work details were finalised before I left but then I need to book nursey places as well.

[NearlyHeddaslessNick]

Hey, to you, me and the rest of our thread it'd be ok, but the rest of mn, who can tell

[JoMa]

i've asked in the bar to see what they think

[JoMa]

new thread here
slight change of title

[runnyhabbit]

oogggs - Know what you mean! But it was my boss who told me we could discuss it afterwards. He knew that I would want a few months off. And tbh I didn't know how I would feel after W was born. I had no intention of returning to work after I had J

evening all

Another busy day here! Did some unplanned bulk cooking because our Tesco actually had aubergines in !! But also had an afternoon of interviews for the new youthworkers we're hoping to get to replace the ones that got married on saturday and are leaving. It's been really nice to meet some people and talk 'shop' for a bit rather than babies T tagged along all day and was a little angel asleep in his pushchair or grinning and giggling at everyone, especially the female candidate little charmer !!

elkie - lol at the moment you guessed! I was visiting friends and at breakfast felt really sick and ran for the loo. Wasn't actually sick but thought maybe?? By the evening I was puking 24/7 and thought I had a sick bug!! Hope your trip to the office was succesful!

at all those trying the recipes! Not had chance to have a go at the yogurt cake yet!! AND at all those getting to the cinema! I want to go!!! But no mummy&baby showings round here and no available people to babysit

Katy not caught up on the mozhe thread yet tonight but at them picking on the name Tristan It's lovely!

Ange - what an awful night! Hope you managed to grap a sleep today.

Norma - poor Erin! Hope her little feet heal up ok!

SOKL - fantastic about extra member of staff holding K for you!!

Runny at overenthusiastic FIl in the garden! Hope you manage to sort it without having to skimp all summer

octo - lol at msn crash! I am beginning to think I need to give it a try

Joma at interview! Sounds perfect for you lady! Hope you get it we'll all cross our fingers for you!!
