  "text": "(1) An employee’s right to return under regulation 12 (right to return: entitlement) is a right to return—\n(a) with the employee’s seniority, pension and similar rights as they would have been if the employee had not been absent, and\n(b) on terms and conditions not less favourable than those which would have applied if the employee had not been absent.\n(2) In the case of accrual of rights under an employment-related benefit scheme within the meaning given by paragraph 7 (a) of Schedule 5 to the Social Security Act 1989, nothing in paragraph (1)(a) imposes a requirement which exceeds the requirements of paragraph 5A of that Schedule.\n(3) The provisions in paragraph (1) providing for an employee to be treated as if the employee had not been absent refer to the employee’s absence—\n(a) if the employee’s return is from an isolated period of leave, since the beginning of that period;\n(b) if the employee’s return is from consecutive periods of statutory leave, since the beginning of the first such period.",
