Hi,
I'm due 13th January 2021, baby 3 but first as a teacher and wondering if these mat leave dates would be allowed...
Going off: I am hoping to go on maternity leave from 4th Jan when term should start back up again but basically be off from 17th Dec... I'm not sure if I can though! One colleague thinks I can, 1 thinks i cant but potentially could say I'll be back on 4th and if need be take a sick day if I dont feel up for it on the day (my cover has already started and will be shadowing until then as was a TA and now completing PGCE through year). This is obviously for financial reasons as then pay wouldn't go down to stat mat pay til the Feb.
Coming back: I had originally decided it would be better to be back for Sept start but then a colleague suggested that I ask to return for 1-2 weeks before summer holidays to then be paid through summer. I think this would also be a nice way to prep for a return. But I just cant see how that would be allowed tbf!
With my other 2 I worked in all year round FE so just did annual leave to make it work best at the time.
I havent spoken to SLT yet on this as it is all a bit mad with the return at the mo. But when this is discussed I dont also want to sound cheeky and just want to know the rules on mat leave dates beforehand.
Anyone know? I'm with NEU so could speak to my advisor. This is another post in itself though as it's looking like I've got to keep paying full union fees through mat leave which someone told me I wont have to...
