Eligibility for Maternity Leave. An officer who becomes pregnant shall, upon production to her employer of the certificate required by subclause (4) of this clause, be entitled to a period of up to 52 weeks’ maternity leave provided that such leave shall not extend beyond the child’s first birthday. This entitlement shall be reduced by any period of paternity leave taken by the officer’s spouse in relation to the same child and, apart from paternity leave of up to one week at the time of confinement, shall not be taken concurrently with paternity leave. Subject to subclauses (6) and (9) of this clause the period of maternity leave shall be unbroken and shall, immediately following confinement, include a period of six weeks’ compulsory leave. The officer must have had at least twelve months’ continuous service with the employer immediately preceding the date upon which she proceeds upon such leave.
