Hello all. I’m hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. I am due to return to work from maternity leave soon and due to the way I was treated before I left and since, I don’t want to return. I believe I was discriminated against prior to leaving (excluded from meetings, team had pay rise other than me) I was also not invited to our Christmas party and various other issues such as advertising my role following me making a flexible working request. (which they also haven’t responded to after 3 months.) I have proof of all of my claims but I’ve also submitted a DSAR which I am awaiting - i’m hopeful there may be some more evidence in emails between hr and my manager. I am going to submit a grievance but I’m not sure the best way to go about telling them I would accept an exit settlement, I also don’t know what kind of figure I should be looking to accept. I will have worked there 9 years after Christmas. I have already confirmed I don’t need to repay any enhanced mat pay I’ve received so this wouldn’t cause an issue. 

Possibly they are looking at the viability of being able to backfill the hours before considering your request

so if it's a small company and you know the MD to speak to, I'd guess the best route would be ask outright.

In terms of settlement, most companies already have "structure" for calculations - 1 month per year of service depending on age - I'm assuming if you have just come off maternity leave then you're probably under 40.

I'd guess therefore that 9-12 months salary is what you'd be looking to get.

It’s a fairly large company - well over 2k employees. Thank you, 1 month per year sounds reasonable! 

It's 1 week per year, not 1 month
