Report Abuse. You can use a flag in any programming language. It's just a variable to hold the state of a condition. Most are boolean (basically, on or off, 0 or 1) but can be any value. A simple flag could be, if a certain condition is true then flag = 1. Then later in the program the value of flag can be tested.eport Abuse. You can use a flag in any programming language.

The way I interpreted it, was that you can leave when you are about 25 weeks pregnant. I think you get something like 15 or 17 weeks pregnancy leave, and then 35 weeks maternity leave. If you save them up, though, you get almost a full year with baby.
I get asked at work when do I take my maternity leave - usually you are allowed to have 6 weeks before the due date, but some are working right through, what would you recommend. of course it depends on health and how you feel, but what happens with the 6 week maternity leave by law and when do the 18 weeks for paid parental leave start?
