I didn't plan on getting pregnant on my maternity leave, I wanted to go back to work for a year before we tried for number two.
It didn't work out the way we planned and I wanted to know where I stood.
I can't change our situation, we are where we are...if that adds up to playing the system in your book then I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
Hope your life pans out exactly how you plan it.
Weevil, I have worked for this company for over four years, so I have given good service to them, I didn't join them and suddenly had a baby, but now I am at the stage of my life where I would like kids.
I will indeed probably have to resign after my maternity leave, so do you think I should forfeit any pregnancy and maternity leave/pay I am entitled to?
Again, I say I am only following the law and company policy.
