Mrs Mac is right. Also correct me if I am wrong but dont you end up getting a litttle bit more than half pay as you arent being taxed as much???

I am a little worried I have not filled in my mat leave forms properly. I only put down 6 months leave at half pay. I also didnt tick the box that says approval to work casually whilst on leave.

Do you think I can change it so that whilst I am on mat leave I can work extra casual days if I need extra money??

My leave starts week 4, term 1, 2009 and ends beginning of week 6, Term 3, 2009 My intentions are to go back to work 2 days a week then butI have no intentions of working the first 3 weeks of the school term.

I am going to work the first week and then take sick leave for 2 weeks as I dont think I am going to be able to handle the heat and looking after 20 littlies being that pregnant. Will have to see how I go.
