    Can I freelance for my employer while on Maternity Leave?

    Just to confirm, my employer has now done its research and agreed that it is a decision between it and me as to whether work gets outsourced to me while I'm on maternity leave. The law states that doing part-time work during maternity leave cannot be grounds for the company then not being obliged to hold open your position for you (eg. if it was a full time position) after your agreed maternity leave term is over. So the same applies obviously for freelance work.
