Here is the problem:
Last year I trainned as a teacher, therefore getting a bursary that doesn't count towards MA. In July I got a job with the music service, who provides instrumental music tuition in schools, but of course that didn't start until September. I have no idea if they'd pay maternity leave, as I was already pregnant when employed (does this matter??) and haven't asked yet BUT if I count the weeks until my due date from the week i started actually working, I only have 24! (and that's working to the very last week...) so, given that you only need to provide payslips for the best paid 13 weeks, can I count from the date of my contract (even though I wasn't actually getting paid) and not the date of my first day of work?
Thanks
