    it doesn't sound like they're a particularly helpful emloyer - i'd be saying no to the casual stuff hun - once you're casual, you're not going to have any guarantee if a job when you want to go back - they can always say there is nothing available or they don't need you - and it sounds like it's something they would do! if it's in your agreement that you are entitled to mat leave as a permanent employee, stick it out and take your leave per your agreement - as much as it might be part of your own work ethic to help them out, it's not up to you to take care of your employer and you have to do what is going to be right long term for you and your family

    good luck with it hun

    They dont know what to do with me really cos they have never had anyone go on maternity leave before. The company has been running for 17 years however its construction and its pretty much blokes and thats it. Printed them out a whole heap of stuff but they didnt look at it.
