<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>At present I have a staff member who is pregnant with twins;
the due date being in Sept. She has asked me if she can take her 7wks LSL
before she goes on maternity leave or if she can take it as a lump sum when she
goes on mat leave. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span 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>
