I am coming to the end of my 6 months maternity leave from work and want to extend it to 9 months... just wondering what advice you can give on how exactly I need to tell them and when... also, if this is actually possible? lol. Maybe should have asked that first! thank you. Angela xx
not sure why you're not getting the additional maternity leave but found this for you http://www.worksmart.org.uk/rights/i_am ... y_leave_am you have to give 56 days notice
Ordinary Maternity Leave is paid for 9 months if your LO was born after 1st April 2007... You can take Additional Maternity Leave of 3 months, but its unpaid.
