I need some guidance for my first pregnancy.
1- I understand mat leave is entitled for 52 weeks but when exactly does this start?
2- Is it possible to take accured leave together when mat leave starts?
3- During mat leave, are we allowed to travel? I dont have much support here with me and would like to spend atleast a month of mat leave back home in pak.

I think you can start mat leave anytime after 29th week of pregnancy
-
Accrued annual leave is usually at the end of may leave because it is literally what it says - annual leave you accrued whilst on mat leave
-
You can travel. Not sure about the legalities of max time you’re allowed to stay outside the Uk on tier 2 visa but assume the same would apply.
PM me if you need any more information/help. Just went back to work from mat leave in September. Also second the recommendation to join the PMGUK Facebook group it’s great
