KIT DAYS/return to work

I’m due to return to work a couple of weeks after SMP ends as I can’t afford the full year so when I gave the 8 weeks notice to end of Mat leave date, I then specified end of Mat leave date and then how many dates annual leave I was hoping to use and then specified exact return to work date I will be back in the office.
I then sent flexible working request in that email and had a meeting to discuss and now finalising kit dates for December and then return to work in January.
With my work I will get paid the kit dates In the same month I work them but that’s just how mine works.

Hope this helps!

Dont be scared to reach out to them, let them know your intentions about going back so they can figure out dates etc. Asking for KIT days shows that you're planning to return so they will just be glad you reached out, however they dont have to give you any so dont bank on getting them and the money until they have confirmed (although most employers want employees to do at least a few to get back in the swing of things). As far as im aware KIT days are paid for as part of the same payroll so it would be when you would usually be paid. If you aren't sure how to word it, then use chat gpt but try not to overthink it ❤️

I started my KIT days when the pay ended, I was required to give 8 weeks notice for these and I was paid following the same pay structure (I am paid weekly one week in arrears) so it would depend on how your monthly pay works.
I contacted the HR department and they put me in touch with my manager(which had changed whilst I was away)
