    I think it varies on your contract, in mine (not teaching) If I'm off ill and its preg related for more than a day or so they will start my mat leave.

    I'm a teacher and I've been off sick for my whole pregnancy unfortunately.

    My contract states that they cannot start my maternity leave because of sickness until 4 weeks before the EDD.

    Hope this helps.

    Where I work they cannot enforce MAT leave until 4wks before EDD, anything prior to that which is pregnancy related sickness can also not be taken into account if they have any concerns about levels of sickness. Might be work checking with your HR, or do you have a staff manual or website you can check?
