How to ask for a pay rise after maternity leave (and actually get it) | Ask Ready or Not

Welcome back to Ask Ready or Not! It’s Ready or Not’s tip-based episode, landing in your ears every Friday. Today, Loz is tackling a question that so many mums returning to work face: how do you ask for a pay rise after maternity leave—and actually get it? If you’ve been doing more for less, stepping back into the workforce with new skills (hello, time management queen!), or simply feel it’s time to be properly valued, this episode is for you. Loz will break down exactly when to ask, how to present your case, and the common mistakes to avoid. If you’ve been hesitating to negotiate, consider this your pep talk and action plan rolled into one.
