We sit down with Janine Webster, Chief Counsel, Fair Work Ombudsman, to understand your rights when returning to work after parental leave.We speak about your entitlement to return to the same job. Women should feel confident that they can return to their same role after parental leaveIf your same role doesn’t exit when you return, then there is an entitlement to return to a role in equal status and pay.If made redundant, you should expect that you are contacted and consulted by your employer.If you want to return earlier than 12 months, you need to give your employer 4 weeks’ notice.
