Contract <strong>of</strong> employment<br />
During <strong>the</strong> maternity leave period (Ordinary and Additional Maternity<br />
Leave) <strong>the</strong> contract <strong>of</strong> employment continues in force. All <strong>the</strong> terms and<br />
conditions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> contract continue with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> salary.<br />
Continuity <strong>of</strong> service is maintained, and any cost <strong>of</strong> living salary<br />
increases will be awarded. Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>staff</strong> on maternity leave will be<br />
eligible for discretionary <strong>College</strong> bonus, but <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> bonus paid<br />
may be reduced for absence on maternity leave, under <strong>the</strong> scheme rules.<br />
Annual Leave<br />
Annual leave entitlement will accrue during <strong>the</strong> Ordinary and Additional<br />
Maternity Leave periods, and should normally be taken during <strong>the</strong> leave<br />
year <strong>to</strong> which it relates, ei<strong>the</strong>r before maternity leave starts, or after it<br />
ends. A maximum <strong>of</strong> 5 days’ annual leave may be carried forward from<br />
one leave year <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> next, but payment in lieu <strong>of</strong> untaken annual leave<br />
will not be made.<br />
Right <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> previous post<br />
A member <strong>of</strong> <strong>staff</strong> has <strong>the</strong> right <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> her previous post if she<br />
returns <strong>to</strong> work at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> Ordinary Maternity Leave. Should she take<br />
Additional Maternity Leave, she will normally return <strong>to</strong> her previous post;<br />
however, if that should not be possible, she is entitled <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> work<br />
on terms and conditions no less favourable than those which applied<br />
before her maternity leave. Should a redundancy situation arise which<br />
could affect <strong>the</strong> post <strong>of</strong> a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>staff</strong> on maternity leave, she will be<br />
consulted about <strong>the</strong> continuation <strong>of</strong> her employment, and if her post<br />
becomes redundant, she will be <strong>of</strong>fered any suitable alternative post<br />
which is available.<br />
