An employee may work for up to 10 days during their maternity leave without bringing their leave to an end or losing their statutory maternity pay.
These keeping-in-touch days during maternity leave can be used for any work-related activity, including attending training and team meetings.
Any keeping-in-touch days during maternity leave must be agreed between the parties. The employer is under no obligation to offer them and the employee is under no obligation to work them.
