LSL. I'm not clear on the processing side of things and impact on unpaid

was correct as I have passed it on to the employee.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; 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>
