Earlier in my pregnancy (about July) I was extremely tired and overwhelmed with the amount of hours that I was working. I talked to my boss and we agreed that I would work as a casual for the rest of the summer.
Te way that maternity leave works is that you have to have worked for 6 months before you are eligible for maternity leave and I have worked there for a year. They pay you 60% of the money you made on average in the last six months.
My question is, should I even file for maternity leave? I don't plan on going back to work when my year is up, I am going back to school instead. Will my payments be worth it since I have hardly worked the whole summer, maybe a whole two weeks.
I make $12.00/hour.
