What sort of unpaid leave?

I took unpaid leave 3 years ago. i used the full maternity leave and parental leave. I applied for my credits. See Link.

Nothing more to tell tbh. I don't get holiday pay- if I don't work, I don't get paid- I get holiday entitlement at the end of the year ie. paid X% of my yearly salary. But I am PAYE, and pay PRSI normally.

So I just stop working- and can't claim dole or whatever? Would it make any difference it I was made redundant/got sacked? What about my prsi credits while on maternity leave? Probably the wrong forum for this - but I thought some of you might have been through this before :rolleyes:

Who told you that your not entitled to maternity leave? If you have been paying prsi as normal you should be eligible. have a look at the citizens advice or welfare websites.
