Hi,

Through my work I get 6 weeks paid mat leave and I was wondering if it is better to take it at full pay or half pay....

I get paid quite well (over $50k) have no hecs or anything but we do have a lot of bills to pay due to DH and I having badly paying jobs before we scored our current ones.

Is there any benefit to take it at full or half pay? Apart from at half it would be stretching out for longer???

I do plan to take at least 6 months off.
