Hello,

Thanks Nai, I didnt know the legal side of things. Will try and see if maternity leave is covered in their policy, will request a copy.

Hi TiggerLinda, I am looking forward to your advice - here are my answers...

I am yet to get an offer of employment and the contract, hopefully should be coming through today. I will probably resign at the beginning of next week, as my new employer doesnt want me to start until New Year, and I have to give 4 weeks notice. So, I have a bit of time up my sleeve.

I am taking a $4000 paycut, which is a big difference to me, because I am on a low wage anyway.

I was told the salary was between certain amounts, but I didnt think they would offer me the lowest amount!

I was given the interview through a recruitment agency, they offered me the job straight after the interview, so I think they are pretty keen to employ me....

I dont think I will stay in my current role, as long as I can establish when I will be getting back to my previous jobs salary.

Should I let future employer know that I am taking a paycut? Its actually all through the recruitment agency, so I am contacting her via email today, how do I broach the subject?

Thanks!
