    But if I take October as holiday having 'returned' to work at the end of September then I will be on my new hours/salary so I will be on a lower monthly salary for October and it will mean I'm off work for longer since a week for me is 3 days not 5.

    Not necessarily, your new hours don't have to kick in until you've used this accrued holiday up. So you can be paid FT for October, then start 1st Nov PT. that's another thing a lot of new mums do on return from mat leave.

    So actually it doesn't make a difference. I either "return" to work on 26th September on my FT salary until I've used my accrued holiday then switch to PT or I do the illegal thing and get paid holiday? Surely then its just semantics?

    Ummm, yes, except one method is legal and the other isn't! If it makes no difference, why wouldn't you take the legal route?!

    Your HR department surely would be better off doing things by the book? Plus if they pay you for your holiday (illegally) it's a dangerous precedent to set - what if someone else wants paying for their holiday too?

    Absolutely I get what you are saying but isn't it down to HR to sort that out? I don't see what I would need to change or do.

    I would check the amount of holidays very carefully.
