39 weeks maternity leave ?

[Lauz_1601]

is this true after the 1st april you get 39 weeks maternity leave ? Thats great, imagine if your due just before

I thought my second baby I will wait until they increase maternity leave becuase 26 weeks was not enough.

I think it should be 52 weeks

 

[Kina]

Yup they've increased it to 9 months paid leave from 6 months. I'm due 2nd April so would be entitled - shame I don't work!!

 

[Lauz_1601]

wow thats brill I can have another baby now then hehe, only joking, not just yet anyway.

 

[bexxie]

How come you get 52 weeks ? thats well good, was it the same with Dior ?

 

[Dionne]

No with Dior i was only a temp worker for bt. but i got taken on perminant after i had Dior (only 3 people got the job out of 150 )
and just out of good will i get 6months full pay then the next 6 months £106pw all bt staff get it.
every one was wellllll pissed of i had jst come back of mat leave with Dior got the perminant job then 2 days later told them i was preg again

haha jsut one of the advantages of being a woman is materinity leave!

 

[Yvonne]

Dionne i bet they were well pissed off!!

It should be 52 weeks maternity leave on full pay, you need money more than ever when you have had a baby, so i can't see how or why they drop the money, its cruel!

 

[KX]

I agree, i found it so hard going onto £106 per week thats why i had to go back sooner than i wanted

 

[Caroline]

I only get bog standard 6 weeks at 90% pay then the rest is SMP at £106 pw so I'll be going back after 3 months and at month of that will be holiday. I will work upto two weeks b4 baby due if I can manage it. May have to cut back hours and qwork shorter days, but determined to go as long as I can. Last time stopped work on Sat and had dd on mon morning.

 

[KX]

We get 16 weeks full pay then the rest is smp. its wrong should be longer

 

[Iwantone!!!]

52wks yeah i agree
