How long do you have to work at the company to qualify?

If you decide to cease employment whilst on leave what is the clawback policy?

If you do not return to work after maternity leave for a period of six months, the difference between Samaritans enhanced Maternity pay and the statutory payments paid to you will be owed to the organisation. You are required to make these payments within two months of your resignation date. This repayment does not apply if you are made redundant during this period
