Work maternity policy help

1 reply

Looking for some advice. Im currently working 4 days i have 1 DC. Am pregnant with second baby currently and work have changed their maternity policy since the last time around. Previously i got 5 months 90% pay and was under no obligation to return to work. This time the policy has changed meaning i will need to return to work for 12 months or risk paying back the money paid to me for those 5 months. What are my options here? Can i choose not to take the additional pay until i decide if i wish to return or not? Child care costs for 2 mean its less likely ill want to return. Can they make me return if it means im financially at a loss?

Could you trust yourself to put the money in to a savings account and not use it? If so I'd do this then if you don't return to work you have it ready to hand back and if you do go back you have some savings to help with childcare or towards something else.
