Maternity Leave for employment-related housing licence holders

If you are the holder of an employment-related housing licence, subject to the maternity leave package offered by your employer, you are able to take up to one years' maternity leave without this affecting your employment-related housing licence, so long as you return to the same job for the same employer and on a full-time basis within a year of the start of your maternity leave.

If you would like to take a longer period of maternity leave you will need to contact Housing Control for advice.

Employment-related licence holders wanting to return to work on reduced hours

Your employment-related housing licence states that you must work on a full-time basis and if you change your working hours so that you are not working full-time your employment-related housing licence will become invalid.

If, after a period of maternity leave, you are thinking about returning to work on a part-time basis, you will need to contact Housing Control with details of the hours that you want to work.  But you should note that, other than in exceptional cases, it is not normal for employment-related housing licences to be issued for a person working part-time hours.
