I have been working for the same company for nearly 7 years now. Earlier this year, I left the company for a new job which I stayed at for 6 weeks before returning to my previous company. ( my new manager fought to get me back in a new role) . Due to the circumstances of me leaving, it was agreed that I be reinstated at original tenure, meaning my years of service counted towards benefits I was eligible for, PTO accrual, etc. I rejoined my old company in April of this year. The problem is, I have just found out that I am pregnant and am worried that this 6 week break in service will void my eligibility for maternity leave with this company. In the last 12 months, I have indeed fulfilled the minimum hourly requirement for maternity leave. Does this 6 week break make a difference? I want to check with HR, but I am only 9 weeks along and don't want to raise a flag too early. The ironic thing is that my manager is currently on maternity leave, returning when I finish my first trimester.
