budders Isn't May supposed to be the prime time for teachers to be due? I thought there was something about not having to take maternity leave until school starts in the fall? I'll actually use all 6 weeks of my paid sick leave before the year is even over... and then I'll be able to start the year with renewed sick time that I will inevitably burn through with two kids in germy daycare. Are you in Canada or the US? I'm intrigued because here (at least in my state but these things are federally controlled here) you're not allowed to use sick leave for maternity leave unless you have a doctors certificate specifically saying something is wrong so you're sick and not just pregnant/mumming. I have 13 weeks of sick leave owing so that'd be brilliant! Not to say I'll suffer though, because we get some leave entitlements, it's just really cool that you can take yours. |

We're required to use sick time according to our contracts. We can't do short term disability and have no other leave pay otherwise. I'm also only allowed to use sick time for the 6-8 weeks, depending on delivery method. I will likely be going two to three weeks at the end of the school year without pay (and then all summer with no pay). |
