Dear all,
I'm due to go on maternity leave in the UK in May 2015 and I will take 39 weeks off. In addition to the Statutory Maternity Pay that is offered through the government my company has also offered me an additional £170 per week from week 7 until week 39 on the basis that I return to work for at least 12 months when my maternity leave ends. My question is, if I was to fall pregnant again during those 12 months and had the 2nd baby before the 12 months were up, would the maternity leave for the 2nd baby count towards those 12 months as I would still be employed by the company?
I know it's unlikely to happen but I just don't want to risk ending up in a situation where I owe the company £5610.
Many thanks,
Hanna
