Hi all,
I am on a fixed term contract (I am the backfill for someone's maternity leave) until 1 December. However, I myself am pregnant and due in September. This means I will start maternity leave at end August.
I know i will be entitled to statutory maternity pay (SMP), however, my company offer enhanced pay but only if you return to work for 3 months at the end of maternity.
My question are:
1/ Do I have any entitlement to return and finish the 3 months of my contract?
2/ If I cannot return to my contract (as it has expired) is there any way that I could be eligible for the enhance pay as I had 3 months left on my contract
3/ If I manage to get another job with the company during my maternity leave (thus returning for at least 3 months), would I be entitled to 'claim back' enhanced maternity pay.
Any advise would be really appreciated
