Work during maternity leave - WDID?
After this week I have 5 more weeks of work to go!!! I am the HR Manager at the company I work for and the only HR person. I work part time. I have been trying to recruit for a replacement for myself for the 12 months that I am planning for maternity leave.
Last week my CEO told me that they were not going to replace me while on mat leave and see if they "can make do" with a consulting arrangement. However, yesterday the CEO asked me if I would be like a consultant/advisor while on mat leave and then they would pay me for the time that I spend on work stuff. They would send me emails and I might provide advice to them maybe for an hour or 2 a week.
I'm not sure what to do - do I say no, I want a complete break or do I keep my hand in and get a few extra dollars?
