A female friend at work is currently on paid Maternity Leave which is due to end December time. It's looking like she wants to leave the business. There will be nothing wrong with her just handing her notice in the last 2 weeks of maternity leave?

I have decided not to return to work. What should I do and what am I entitled to?

You should resign in the normal way, giving the notice period stated in your contract or agreed with your employer. If you resign during your maternity leave, you do not have to go into work to ‘work’ your notice, you can remain on maternity leave. But if you resign after the end of your maternity leave, you should work your notice unless you have agreed to take annual leave or you need to take sick leave.
