Resigning while on maternity leave

[Ngala]

NOPE! Just found out that the HR left as well... hahah I wonder if there is any one working there??!!

dachlostar - No it wasnt paid maternity leave. Thats interesting, I cant believe that a work place would do that, I guess its a way to keep hold of the person.

I would just send a formal letter of resignation to the most senior person of the company. They will ensure that your letter is directed to the right place.

Best of luck and enjoy being a SAHM!

If they have all resigned I wonder if they know to expect you back??

[Ngala]

Nai - that is what I am thinking!!! Since I went on maternity leave EVERYONE I worked with has left the company, so I am thinking that I will write this letter of resignation and this personal will be sitting there thinking, who the heck is this!!

I wonder if I should try and contact my boss and see what he says. I think his last day is friday, not 100% sure tho. I wont feel so bad telling him I am not coming back now that he is leaving. What you think, sounds like an idea to try??

i think if you're comfortable calling your boss, you should do that. im sure he will tell you who to address the letter to.

enjoy being a SAHM!

contact your old boss tomorrow Ngala. he'll be able to point you in the right direction


for the paid mat leave thing - it's quite common for companies that offer paid mat leave to make it conditional on you returning to employment and maintaining that for a minimum period of time. i guess they make a financial investment in you when you go on leave - they pay you on the expectation that you are taking leave and will be returning... if you're not returning, why would they pay you "leave" when they can just pay out any of your entitlements (rec etc) and say see ya

Definitely call your boss before he goes, even just to say goodbye and ask who you should contact with him going if you don't feel comfortable telling him you will be leaving too.
