Returning to work
Hi everyone.. can anyone tell me me what is the notice period y9u have to inform your employer if your return to work from maternity? My 9 month maternity ended in November however I have the 12month option (3momths unpaid) which I was planning to take. Which would give me a return date of 17th Feb. However I am thinking I might actually have to return earlier than this. The week commencing 27th Jan. But now I am unsure if I have given enough notice ?

I had to tell my work at least 56 days before the date I wish to return x
Depends on the company. Will either be in your contract or maternity guidelines. The company I work for require 8 weeks notice if you want to return to work early before the full maternity is up.
Depends on your company but if you want to return in January, I’d tell them ASAP.
It's generally 8 weeks as a minimum. Mostly they'll assume you're taking the whole year unless you specifically say otherwise.
Usually it’s 8 weeks but check you mat leave policy. If I were you I would call your boss asap
I had to give 8weeks notice but it may vary company to company xx

It should state that in your company’s guidelines. At the company I work, I am required to notify my manager and HR at least 8 weeks before my return date.
