The 'returning to work for a day/ week/ 2 weeks to be paid for the summer holidays' myth is rearing its head again ๐Ÿคฌ This one makes me so cross... by law you have the right to return on a date of your choice and IMMEDIATELY be treated as per your normal conditions

Came across a local authority in the Midlands this week who offer teachers 26 weeks of 100% full pay on maternity leave ... if they can pay this why can't all schools?! Some London LAs pay the same. Certainly a reason not to feel guilty claiming a few extra weeks pay via SPL!

In a nutshell, SPL allows you to break your year of maternity into 4 sections per parent. Fit these around the holidays and you get the benefits of paid holidays, stretching the 39 weeks of paid leave over a longer period, and the option to still take a year off, whilst

If you were a teacher on M5, going on maternity leave from Monday, taking Shared Parental Leave would: - Earn you ยฃ5574 of additional income - Mean that if you took the whole year off only 4 weeks would be completely unpaid (not the usual 13!) - create 9 weeks that your partner

Mat leave; 1) it's before 52 weeks of leave are used/ baby turns 1 if taking SPL. 2) you give 8 weeks notice. Schools can't add extra T&C's. Just like they can't say you can't return from sick leave in the holidays. It's discriminatory, there's no legal grounding for it ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿคฌ

Having a baby in the next few months? If you can get your head around SPL (or let us do that bit for you) and apply by the end of May - you can get your summer holidays paid in full (and still be off work after). It sounds too good to be true...but so far in 2022 we've helped 150

One of the biggest misconceptions people have about SPL is that it wouldn't be worth it if their partner is the higher earner. This isn't true. SPL can be taken in a way that only impacts the mother, gaining her paid holiday, partners salary 100% unaffected ๐Ÿ˜Š

Majority of schools maternity policies I've seen (and that's 100s) pay teachers 100% for the 1st 4 weeks, then 2 weeks at 90%. Support staff though, who are already underpaid, get 6 weeks at 90% instead. Why treat them differently?! If you're a head please consider changing this!

SPL can be planned at any point once you've an idea of a start date for maternity leave, though I'd recommend that an ideal time (if you want to use our support package) is once you've had your matb1 forms. If you're on mat leave it isn't too late - as long as there are 8 weeks

@WhistleblowingT It's a myth that never wants to go away in education that you have to go back. Return isn't something your employer has a say in. Provided you give 8 weeks notice (unless they allow less) you can go back any day, term time or not, and must immediately be back on full pay.

If you're on mat leave currently and would like to be paid for May HT, the deadline for paperwork is 3rd April. The deadline for summer hols (standard 22nd July finish) is 29th May. Now is the right time to start planning for these ๐Ÿ˜Š

We come across a lot of families who think SPL won't work for them, usually this is a misconception. SPL will benefit you financially even if: - you're already on MAT leave - your partner earns more - you're both teachers/ work in same school

We've noticed an increase in teachers opting to work right up to the due date since the cost of living crisis began. SPL is a great way to earn some extra money whilst on leave - if you haven't already, check out our website!

Great to see that word about SPL is spreading far and wide ๐Ÿ’• We've worked with families in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. Don't think we've had any of the islands yet though!

Two weeks to get paperwork in for that all important summer holiday pay! If you're on leave now, and intend to be still in September you need to look into SPL ASAP. We have spaces available for those that would like help planning and applying

Drafting some SPL plans this evening which go into 2023! Time is flying! It's never too early to plan how you can use SPL to get paid for the school holidays whilst on maternity leave ๐Ÿ˜Š
