Been offered to transfer my remaining AL to the following year or be paid for it. Due to go on mat leave mid march, so the extra cash would be helpful. However, they plan to action and pay the AL after April. I will be on mat leave by then and I am worrying that they will mess it up and I won't be in work to sort it and probably won't feel like calling and sorting with hr and payroll with a newborn. Has anyone done AL buy back and been paid for it correctly? Especially on mat leave? Maybe I am safer just using the AL!

Currently on my second lot of Mat leave while working for the NHS. Each time I’ve been on mat leave I’ve carried the AL over and tagged it onto the end of my mat leave to have longer off.
Worked well for me both times as I took a year both times so nice to be off for a bit longer but actually get some money for it after taking 3 months unpaid.
