off on maternity leave, returning and going off again?

[holl1109]

does anyone know how long you have to be back at work for before you are entitled to maternity leave again?

hey there, I think as far as I am aware, cos my sister is obsessed with qualifying for maternity before she starts for number 2 its 3 months of work before you can either leave without paying back money or being eligble for more maternity pay. I am sure this is right, but I suppose every workplace can be different. If you are unsure then why not check with the HR department if you have one at your work. Hope this helps.

I only get stat mat pay and my contract says that I only have to work for one full day between leaves.

As noodles said stat maternity pay you only have to work 1 day between each mat leave. If you get more than stat then each employer will likely have different rules so its best to check xxx

Hey, also don't forget that your SMP entitlement is based on your average earnings you receive between weeks 17-25 of your pregnancy.So if this happened to fall during any unpaid mat leave (ie the last 3 months) i don't know where u'd stand.I'd check with HR hun
