teachers maternity pay-the summer hols???

[dennya]

I started my maternity leave on the 4th June 2006 and it has ran through the summer holidays. Do I get any normal pay because of this being my usual holiday? I have tried deciphering the burgundy book scheme, but no joy!!

somerset mum, thaks for the info about accruing leave.
I didn't think teachers did this - I'm currently on mat leave and am taking a year off - will flag this up with payroll before I get back, would be v nice to have an extra 10 days in my paycheque (although this is for full time I assume? would be 2 days for me as I work 1 dya a week? )
