There are a few options you can utilise your remaining maternity leave. Let say you only take 2 months maternity leave and the rest of the 2 months you can opt for: 1. Work from Mon to Thu and off Friday or 2. Work from Mon to Fri for half day or 3. For emergency use such as when baby is sick etc. 4. Short term holidays. However please check with your HR the maternity leave must be utilised within how many months after you giving birth.

Hi mummy, if your employer is willing, you can work out a part-time or flexi kind of arrangement with them. I used to take 8 weeks and the remaining 8 weeks was spread out over a couple of months. On some days, I came in half a day and on some days, i took a whole day off. Good luck!

I took 12 weeks and the remaining 4 weeks I will be doing half-day after I go back to work. So that works out to be about 8 weeks of half day work!

thanks
