Paid Maternity Leave - Melbounre

[MelS]

I am one of the extremely lucky ones who gets 12 months paid maternity leave (after 2 years service).

I got 14 weeks at full pay, then 38 weeks at 60% of my salary. They also offer many options on how to take this pay. You can get it paid in lump sum, return to work early and they keep the remaining money owed to you for use later. They are very flexible and it definately comes into the equation when I consider having #3 (still haven't decided yet!)

What do you do? If you could find work at Sensis they could be good as my H works there and got 2 weeks paid paternity leave.

I work at a university. They are excellent and very family friendly (hence the great maternity leave!).

Wow Mel - and I thought 14 weeks paid leave in the public service was good (which is what I get). Now I'm jealous!

Yup, I work at a uni too and I get 26 wks at full pay or we can take it at half pay over 52 weeks.
