I suspended occupational maternity pay - when do I get it paid?

[laurz75]

I am a teacher. I have just agreed to return to work after a year's maternity leave. I suspended my occupational maternity pay. When will I get it paid to me - on my return to work (first pay 'packet') or after 13 weeks?

laurz hopefully there might be some teachers along to tell you when they got theirs in similar circumstances, but have you checked your maternity policy and any letters you received confirming your maternity arrangements, including the fact that you were suspending your pay?
If one of the conditions of you getting it is that you return for 13 weeks I wouldn't expect you to receive it until you've done that, but check the documentation it should say.
