I got put at risk last week and am on the last bit of my maternity leave. My team is being cut in half.
I know that while on maternity leave you have the right to be offered a suitable role (if available) what I don’t know is if I am entitled to this. I am due back on 4th feb, but does the date I was put at risk (16th jan) count.
In a nutshell, do I still count as on maternity leave for the assessment, and therefore am I entitled to one of the remaining roles? Or, as the final decision will be once I return, am I counted in the same pool as everyone else.
Hoping someone with some knowledge can help as I’m really stressed!!!
