Is it ok to ask an employee on maternity leave to return to work to attend training?

Yes, employees on maternity leave are permitted to return to work for up to 10 days without ending their maternity leave.  These days are known as ‘keeping in touch’ (KIT) days.  Both the school and the employee must agree for a KIT day to be taken. For a letter inviting an employee to a KIT day, please see: MAT7: Request for employee to attend a KIT day
