    I think that was intended to be more like "what about TCF?"

    I cannot see the risk.

    Are you sure about this?
    Because ....
    I do appreciate there are many new mothers who decide not to return once maternity leave ends but anyone can resign a job.

    ...demonstrates an increased risk.

    Providing the applicant is still in employment and a contract exists with a clear return date, I cannot see the risk.

    The rights are totally with the employee. The employee does not have to return to work. The employee can request flexible working or even part time hours. Given maternity leave can last up to a year now. Much can change in that time frame.

    Correct, gold star for you my boy ;-)

    I was only trying to be helpful as I thought you didn't recognise the acronym. Won't bother in future if being patronised is the result!
