If i have to give 2 months notice for my job, can i resign on the 2nd or 3rd mth of maternity? Meaning to say i don have to go back to work after maternity.

Technically speaking u can. 8 wks is paid by ur employer for maternity benefit and the other 8 wks u can apply from government. But I don't think it's v nice to resign just like that. As a mother I think I can understand u. But as a employer or co-workers I will feel cheated - like - "couldn't u have just said so earlier so that we can make the job arrangements a long time ago?" Kinda feeling
