attached a copy of the guidelines for Maternity Leave, if this staff member falls
into the six week period during the school holidays then I believe that, that
is when her leave begins from, they can’t have their cake and eat it
too. I think you should get clarification from Schools HR to make sure
but really if her 6 weeks prior to the due date starts in the holidays then
they have to accept that this is the date their leave begins from.
Remember that you can do a salary mischarge from 01/01/2007 until the day she
goes on leave if you are replacing her with another staff member that you have
to pay from 01/01/2007 so that you are not paying for 2 people for the same
postion. This will be a good one for you to tell us all when
you get the answer from HR.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
