Common use of Maternity Grant Clause in Contracts

Maternity Grant. (a) The maternity grant is payable to female principals on production of a birth certificate or evidence of an approved adoption placement, whether she qualifies for maternity leave without pay or resigns because of pregnancy or adoption except as follows: The maternity grant is not payable where a principal has not produced a medical certificate confirming pregnancy, or confirmation from the relevant government department of suitability as an adoptive parent, before commencing leave or resigning. No provision is made for payment of a maternity grant in the case of a miscarriage. (b) The amount of the grant is calculated on the basis of six weeks full salary at the rate applicable at the date of birth (or placement in the case of adoption) to the position from which the principal was granted leave of absence or resigned as the case may be. However, a woman who works less than full normal hours for a short period only, prior to her taking parental leave, may have her case for full payment considered by the employer. When a principal is absent on maternity leave for less than six weeks (30 working days), the full grant equivalent to six weeks salary is still payable. The maternity grant is not reduced because salary is being received. Note: Principals on parental leave have access to the surplus staffing/school closure provisions of this Agreement.
