Maternity Pay

[blade81]

Hi Ula,

that is correct not part of my role at company a but was added to my role for the 13 weeks I was at company b before maternity leave. It’s like they haven’t twigged that the BDM role replaces some of my role so no they haven’t mentioned impact. I met with HR and my new line manager to discuss my maternity pay on company b. We briefly discussed my flexible request then I submitted had a kit day last month when line manager told me she was leaving so won’t be making the decision. I went again today and still no decision. I also got talking to my two other IT colleagues one of whom revealed they hav been both TUPED across to company b in the last month and retained their terms and conditions from company a. The HR lady who was on maternity leave when I was refloyed told him al those offered a suitable alternative should have been TUPED across. He didn’t know about my situation until I told him after he said above. I don’t know if I should raise this again with HR with the new information.

Thanks

Hi I think that you should raise this, particularly if colleagues of yours in the same team have been TUPE'd across on the same terms and conditions.

Hi Ula,

i am planning to raise it but I feel they are very reluctant to even consider my issue.

I also asked if there can be a review period when I return as do much has changed within the organisation.

thanks

Are you now having regular KIT days?

If so I would suggest that between now and the next one, you put together a detailed list of things you want to cover in a meeting with HR and your new line manager e.g. the recruitment of a new BDM and the impact on your role, your flexi request (if you have not heard back), the outstanding issue of the mat pay, review period on return to work and anything else you want to add. In addition to listing them out, where there are points to raise e.g. the mat pay then detail these out. I am happy to look at any draft. Send this off in advance of your next kit day so that they have time to consider things in advance of the meeting. Maybe by detailing everything out and setting it as the agenda for the meeting it may move things forward.

Just a thought of what to do next.

Thank you Ula. I’m concerned about raising the mat pay again as I know they were very headstrong in saying they were in the right. I’ll add to the agenda and see what happens. Thanks for your help I’ll start getting a draft ready.
