20181119 BS EDITED TechStream Handbook WIP

In the event the employee is granted the maternity benefit she is required to work for the Company
for at least four (4) months following her return from maternity leave (the “work-back period”).
The “work-back period” commences on the day that the employee physically returns to the office to
start work. Should the employee leave the company’s employee prior to the completion of the workback
period, for reasons other than her retrenchment, she agrees to immediately reimburse to the
Company all maternity monies duly paid to her by the company (“the maternity monies”).
In the event that the Company institutes legal proceedings against the employee for the recovery of
the maternity monies, or any balance owing, the employee agrees that she will be liable for all legal
costs incurred by the Company on the attorney and own client scale including collection charges.
1.6.4 Contact during Maternity Leave
Before your maternity leave begins, your Manager will discuss arrangements for keeping in touch
during your leave. The agreement will cover the way in which contact will happen, how often, and
who will initiate the contact. It could also cover the reasons for making contact and the types of things
that could be discussed. This may be to discuss your plans for return to work, including any special
arrangements to be made or training to be given to ease your return to work or simply to update you
on developments at work during your absence.
The Company reserves the right to maintain reasonable contact with you from time to time during
maternity leave.
1.6.5 Holidays
You shall continue to accrue entitlement to paid annual leave during maternity leave.
1.6.6 Returning from Maternity Leave
If you return to work at the end of your maternity leave period, you need to formally notify us in
advance of your return. On return from ordinary maternity leave you will return to work in the same
job that you left before you started your maternity leave. If, for health and safety reasons, you were
doing a different job from your usual one while you were pregnant you may be required to return to
that different job for a short time if you are still at risk when you return to work.
You may wish to return to work before the end of your maternity leave period, but if you choose to
do so you must give us 4 weeks' warning of the date of your return.
1.6.7 Postponement of return to work
If you are too ill to return to work at the end of your maternity leave period, the sickness absence
procedures will apply. If you decide not to return to work at the end of your maternity leave period,
you must notify the Company at once in writing of your decision.
