Hi,

I would like to find out, i am scheduled to go on maternity leave the 1st January 2017 and have been told i will get paid through metal and engineering industries bargaining council sick pay fund, i would like to take a full 4 months leave can my company deny? and only allow me to take 3 months?

Secondly, i am extremely unhappy with my working environment bosses are verbally abusive and have made me work even harder during my pregnancy period than i have before, i therefore would like to know if i could resign from the company whilst on maternity leave, my company is not paying for my leave the sick pay fund is.

Please advise,
