Hi,
My 3 colleagues and I are being made redundent. As per our contracts, we have to give 3 months notice if we wish to leave and the company too. Hence, we have been given 3 months notice beginning April 1st. However, I am due to go on a year's maternity leave from the end of April, which the company are honouring. I believe that as my notice period overlaps into my maternity leave then I am due the other 2 months notice period after my mat leave. The company refute this, state the situation is not negotiable and wish me to sign a non-disclosure document.
Are the company acting illegally or should I be satisfied that they are honouring my maternity leave? It does seem unfair that because I am pregnant that I do not get my full 3 months notice period as my contract states.

Is it legal for my 3 month redundency notice and maternity leave to overlap?
