Maternity leave qn. Any teachers?

Oh this is a good question! From what a few of us have gathered from teachers in our circle, the June "working week" (that last week of May into early June) is technically considered a school term week, not a school holiday, so it would count as working days, not non-working days. This matters for maternity leave calculations because if it falls within a working week, it does get counted toward your maternity leave days rather than being "free" time. One of my mum friends who is an MOE teacher mentioned that the school holidays themselves don't count toward the 28 weeks of maternity leave, but that specific working week before the holidays officially start is a different story, best to confirm directly with your school's HR or admin just to be sure, since individual schools may handle the paperwork slightly differently!
