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.

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.
If you take maternity leave, you can only claim for up to 121 days. An employee who has a miscarriage during the last three months of pregnancy or who bears a stillborn child is also entitled to six weeksâ maternity leave, whether or not the employee had started maternity leave at the time. pregnant employee is entitled to at least 4 continuous months of maternity leave. She can start leave any time from 4 weeks before the expected date of birth OR on a date a doctor or midwife says is necessary for her health or that of her unborn child.
