Paying back maternity?

Post by amy.bright »

Hia,

I’m 1/3rd through my maternity. Whilst on maternity I moved about 60 min drive from my DO. I’m trying to transfer but where I want to transfer has no space at the moment. I love my old D.O so don’t really want to change but can’t justify a hour drive for R.M wage. I’d actually like to go back to work early but it’s proving difficult to work it all out with childcare as I’d have to leave home so early.

ANYWAY - I’ve looked in contracts (found nothing stating), emailed HR (no reply) and asked any manager I can (non have any idea) if I leave do I have to pay any maternity pay back?

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this I’m out of ideas.
Cheers then!
