style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I’m under the impression she
can take LSL before she goes on mat leave, don’t know about taking it in
a lump sum, as I thought you’d have to resign to be paid out (as
it’s only 7 wks , I don’t think she’s talking about commuting
it). Also, whilst the due date is in Sept, as it is twins she has been
told she’ll probably give birth in August (possibly earlier then 6 wks
before the due date). If she is on LSL at the time, is 12 wks maternity leave
adjusted to begin from birth date and then what happens with remaining LSL?
I have spoken to a couple of people with varying answers. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
