    Hi All

    I currenty work 2 days a week Wed & Thur. I am due to start my maternity leave at the end of Dec '13 and I just wondered what annual holidays and public holidays am i entitled to, while on Mat Leave? Most public hols fall on a monday and as i never work on a monday am i still entitled to those days why on Mat leave?

    Tks in advance

    When you are on maternity leave, you are already on leave regardless of the days you work. Employers are not required to pay employees while on maternity leave, you apply to dept of social and family affairs for benefit. You do accrue leave days as normal during your leave period bit these most likely have to be taken before Dec 31st unless you can carry them over.
    In the new year, you accrue leave while on maternity leave which you can take when you return to work.

    Yes - on a pro rata basis of your rostered shifts. For example,if you work 8 hours on both Wednesday and Thursday you would be entitled to 40% of each bank holiday. If you do two 12 hour shifts on those days, you would be entitled to 60% and so on.
