    i think it depends on where you work and what your individual agreement is. every work place is, unfortunately, different.

    with my workplace, we get 12 weeks of paid mat leave, and up to 52 weeks unpaid - the first 12 weeks counts as service and, as such, we accrue leave

    you'll need to check in your own work place hun - good luck in finding out!

    Mine is the same as Briggsy's work place except ours is 13wks paid leave & we accrue annual leave, I am also using up another 8ish wks of saved annual leave & so that also accrues leave!!!

    But each place is different!!!

    Nope, I didn't as I didn't qualify for paid maternity leave (had to have been there 2 years, I missed out by a few months).

    I accrue all types of leave while I am on paid maternity leave but not on the unpaid portion. I think I also have to keep making super contributions while I am on unpaid leave so that I'm still covered for the deathe and disability insurance that it (super policy) includes.

    I think that it is pretty much standard that if you are on paid leave you earn your entitlements but on unpaid you don't.
    Also, if for instance you take more weeks at half pay (assuming you get any paid) then you accrue you entitlements at the same rate ie half etc
