Hi Ladies

Anyone know if you fall pregnant during ML with your 2nd are entitled to the full 12 months and your job back again?

Cheers

I'm not sure what the law is... but one of my staff did this recently and our company gave her full allowances (inc the paid portion).

In the public health system it does!!

I am doing exactly that.

I went back to work in june when I was about 8 weeks preg.

We have had a few girls do the same in the last few months, 1 girl was only back for 3 months.

As long as you return to work after your first maternity leave is up and stay on as a permanent follow the same procedures with giving a letter etc with your EDD, expected term of maternity leave you are legally entitled to maternity leave does not affect your continuity of service.
Depending on your boss if you're not working for a big company or the government they can still be pretty peeved but they have to do it even if begrudgingly.
