I only work 15 hours a week and just qualify for SMP. I work 3 days a week for 5 hours a day. My employer has never had someone on maternity before so all the rules are new to her (though I highly doubt she's looked into them much). I've just been having a read and seen that I have to be given paid time off for maternity appointments when 'reasonable'. I'm not sure what reasonable really means.. I book my midwife appointments myself so have always arranged them for non working days, but my scans (I have to have extra scans) are just sent to me in the post. Do I have to try and rearrange the scans for non working days to make it reasonable, as in, if I can't rearrange to a non working day then having paid time off is reasonable? Or am I doing enough by always booking midwife appointments on non working days and can get paid time off for scan appointments? My scans will all be followed by a consultant appointment as well so will obviously be a bit longer. And the travel time to and from the hospital will probably work out to be about 45mins - 1 hour total. I've just checked and only 2 of my scans are on working days, and based on the time of the appointments for both I'd probably only be able to work about 2/2 and a half hours out of my usual 5, is this reasonable? Or do I need to be more reasonable and offer to make up my hours/rearrange the appointments/just take the time unpaid? Thanks for any help 👍
