Work during maternity leave - WDID?

Could you say yes but that you will start after 4 or 6 weeks time? It sounds good so you can keep your foot in the door and get some income for only a few hours a week hun but you will probably want the first few weeks off at least to have time for DD and bub.

Not to put a dampner on this but would it affect your maternity leave (if your company has a mat leave "program") at all? I also work in HR and we our policies are quite strict re working whilst on paid leave - even if the CEO has tapped someone on the shoulde...

It is a small company and has no paid mat leave program - I am the only HR person in the company and even though I tried to get paid mat leave in the policies it didn't happen

Nup! enjoy the time off and i'd say NO but that's probably only cos' i feel like i haven't stopped working for years and this will be the first time since forever that i haven't been working (out of home anyway). I'm about to finish up as of next Tues for a while woohoo (although we have our own business and i can work from home )
Enjoy your maternity leave while you can i say
Spend that time resting as much as possible before bubs arrives.

Well in that case it may be beneficial to have the extra $$$ - just make sure you don't get taken advantage of and don't take on too much (lol if someone was telling me this I would be going yep yep blah blah) - ultimately it is up to you... best of luck either way.
