    MG, I want back early and work didn’t mind at all. Why don’t you tell them now if you know you are definitely going back? That way they can have more time for planning for your return.

    I spoke to HR today and they told me that I can't go back early if I feel ready early because they have to contract someone to replace me. So I have had to alter my leave form NOW and it should be fine. It's just a matter of whether or not the manager will sign off on it. So I have requested until July and if I want to extend it then I can. Apparently it is easier to extend a contract than shorten one. Oh well.... at least I found out now and not after I went on leave! And thank goodness they haven't started recruiting yet!
