Hi all,
I am a little connfused and new to ask about money. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and out on illness related to this. So I am on illness benefit. I had originally planned to take holidays from 10th May to 24th May and then start my maternity leave (state - work dont pay this) However, with the sick leave now I will probably be on this right up to the maternity leave. (25th May) Work suggested paying me holidays now (2 weeks of my 4) but I think if I do this I have to loose illness benefit and if I keep it I have holidays at the end before I return to work?!
I was due to return to work on 22nd Nov but I had planned taking Unpaid leave of a month minimum so that would have brought me to 21st Dec and then have my 4 weeks holidays from 2009 paid bringing me to 18th Jan. Do you think this is right? Can I hold the holidays this way or and I am not sure I can do this - Can work pay me my holidays now and I hold it and just take more days unpaid at the end of the year.
Sorry this is so long but I had not really considered I would have needed to go on illness benefit until now and so I didnt realised I could lose out on holiday pay!
