Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise me. I have been teaching in the same primary school for 10 years. I have been full time until last September (2017) when I varied my contract for the school year to 0.4. for various reasons.
I have recently discovered I am pregnant with a 'surprise' 3rd baby in early October and will plan to begin maternity leave at start of September. I intend to take the full year but I have no idea about my maternity leave entitlement. Will I only get part time matetnity pay (0.4) or can I request to go back to full time contract from September 18 even though I'll be off all year. I had been planning to do this anyway but timing seems cheeky. My collleage thought matetnity pay is based on average earnings at a certain stage in the pregnancy. I would really appreciate any advice or opinions as don't Know anyone else who has been in this position.
