The following poll will be very helpful in sorting some ideas. If you are in paid work and have a minute or two spare, it would be lovely to hear from you![Poll #1401151][Poll #1401151]

As a teacher, I have a lot of leave time - 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week in March, and 2 months in the summer. Makes up for putting up with 100 teenagers/semester. ;-)

Also, 20 days paid sick leave per school year, and it accumulates if I don't use it - I think I have close to 200 days saved up.

And... regarding the maternity/paternity leave, I ran out of room above. We get up to 12 months, as I indicated. The parents can take time together (say, 6 months together for both of them, but then they both have to go back to work or continue without pay) or they could split it, with mother going back to work at say, 8 months & the father finishing off the last 4, which I've known several people to do, especially if Mom makes more money than Dad.
