Pregnancy-Maternity-Pregnancy leave
Hi there
I was wondering if anyone can offer me some advice please.
I work for a UK based company and therefore am governed by UK law.
I have recently had a baby and am currently on maternity leave, however my maternity leave is due to end in the next 6 months.
It is my company's policy for pregnant crew to be grounded from the time they find out on full pay (not sure if that is law or internal only, can an employer reduce one's salary while on pregnancy leave?).
What would happen if I were to fall pregnant again while on maternity leave, would my employer be obliged to put me back to on to pregnancy leave on 100% pay and then I go on to maternity leave again once the baby is born.
My company doesnt stipulate in any policy that I must first return to work after maternity leave so I was wondering if anyone has any experience or information on such matters/cases.
