I have heard from various unconfirmed sources that you have to start leave at 34 weeks while others say 36. Does anyone know which it is? Although I suppose it doesn't matter too much as last day of the year I would be 34 weeks. However, A year runs from end of Jan to end of Jan so I would still have to be paid up until then and then my maternity leave would start - 9 weeks full-pay / 18 weeks half-pay.

Anyone know if this is right? I would ring the union but I'm not a member and their website is useless to non-members.
