Hi,
I am due to go on maternity leave in a few weeks and my company have known this for a number of months now.
Their old maternity policy was to pay a contribution to supplement the maternity pay received from the social welfare.
Now, with only a few weeks to go for me, they have changed their policy (effective immediately), adding the clause that you have to return to work for 6 months following your maternity leave or reimburse the amount of their contribution to them.
I was wondering if anybody might know if I have any legal right to follow the old policy considering that was the one in place when I informed them of my leave?
Thanks!
