Can you work part time for a different company whilst on additional (unpaid) maternity leave?
I'm not going back to my current job when I finish OML, partly because I'll be living 200 miles away. I was looking at finding another part time job after my mat leave finishes, to bring in a bit extra cash.
If I take additional maternity leave from my current work, I continue to accrue holiday, which means I can take 20 days holiday at the beginning/end of my maternity leave instead of just 10.
But is it illegal/unethical to work elsewhere during this time? Sorry if this doesn't make sense...
