Hang on a minute - am I being diddled?

I saw my boss today and have sorted out going back to work in a month or so for 2 days a week. But when I asked how it worked with holidays he said I've had them all.

I thought that annual leave accrued the same way during mat leave as it does if you're at work? And as the year runs from Jan 1st I assumed I would have accrued half my holiday allowance by now? My stat mat leave doesn't run out for a few weeks.

Have I got this wrong? And if he's wrong, what's the best way to broach it?

Oh, and also he says he has to "adapt" my job and will be sending me a new contract to sign. Aren't I entitled to the same job? Obviously I'll be in less but does this sound a bit odd to you?

Well - I've emailed the boss, and not heard back yet! I expect he's taking advice and cursing me.

I'm expecting the new contract in the post asap so I'll be checking it with a fine tooth comb (and getting a solicitor to have a shufty too!). I really hope he's not going to be a total arse about all this. I bet he'll try to get shot of me in the next 6 months, especially as we'll be trying for another baby soon!
