[Busmanagers] Family leave assistance.

[Joy MYERSCOUGH]

Sorry Chris I know you want to put an end to this question but I have only
just caught up with my emails.

I believe they are able to extend their 6 weeks as long as they provide the
relevant documentation as stated in the first line and the first dot point
below.  We had a similar situation, the person in question had a certificate
stating she was fit to continue working 4 weeks prior to.

A member of the teaching service may attend for duty during any part of the
required absence period if the principal is satisfied that: 

*         she will be fit for duty for the relevant period (proof of which
is to be by medical certificate supplied by the staff member), and

*         the staff member's attendance for duty will not adversely affect
the school's operations; and

*         the return to duty sought by the staff member is at a time staff
ordinarily attend for duty at that school.

Yes I believe that this is correct too.  I think that you should get a
definitive answer not from someone on the Help Desk as often their answers
are their own definition but from someone in Management eg:  Tom Ward, Les
Walker etc.  As there are so many varying answers I think it would be great
if you could let us all know the final answer from HR as a matter of
interest.

Hi all,

 

I have a full time staff member who is pregnant and her due date is 26th
Feb. 6 weeks prior to that is 13th Jan however, she wants to know if she
gets a doctor's certificate stating she is fit to work and comes to work on
Jan 30th (pupil free day) could she start family leave from 31st Jan, as she
would prefer not to have to take family leave during the xmas holidays. I
know if it's during a term it's ok but am unsure whether the vacation period
alters that.

I've explained to her that she gets 14 weeks paid leave, but she wants to
know if she can be paid at half pay rate over a longer period. Never been
asked that before, so haven't got the foggiest! 

 

I'm hoping that someone will have the answers.

 

Thanks,
