Cover is available to any member on maternity leave/paternity leave/adoption leave for 12 months from the start of the leave.
Whilst the member is being paid via TVP Payroll, deductions will continue to be collected.
If a member’s pay ceases, Philip Williams will cover payments for month 10, 11 and 12.
If the member returns to force immediately following the 12-month break, cover will be continuous and subscriptions should be re-started from payroll. Its the responsibility of the member to contact the Federation office on enquiries@tv.polfed.org and also Force Payroll to re-commence deductions.
If the member does not return after the 12 months but goes on a further break, then the Core scheme can be offered. If this is taken the cover would cease when the member returns to work and the member should re-apply for the main group scheme and this would be subject to medical underwriting.
