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