With about 4 weeks left of your maternity leave, when applying for new jobs and going for interview, will you let them know you are still on maternity leave or just inform on your standard notice period? Thanks.

You cannot use your ML to offset your notice period. My colleague tendered with HR the day she is suppose to be back and request for immediate release. Company agreed and release her she dont waste her time serving notice, the company save 1 month too
