HI
Anyone out there with maternity leave/pregnancy/queries esp those with dodgy bosses. ACAS have a dedicated section on their website for mat leave queries @ https://www.acas.gov.uk. They are independent, FREE & confidential, also have a helpline. The government have TIGER website (Tailored Interactive Guidance on Employment Rights) web site where you can work out your entitlement https://www.tiger.gov.uk.
Also, if someone gets company mat leave in addition to statutory/government pay, & don't return to work, they're likely to be technically liable to repay.
However, if say it happened that you went off sick when you're due to return & stayed off for a couple of months, it's pretty likely that the sick leave would supercede any requirement to repay mat leave back.
Alternatively, apply for a career break if these are offered but the same conditions are likely to apply atrthe end of the break, i.e. return to work ALTHOUGH normally only for about 1 month (check your contract) or repay original company mat leave. Best of luck All.
