Im in the 2nd trimester at the moment but posting this here as I thought Id get a better response.
Im currently on annual leave at the moment following 52 weeks maternity leave. Toward the end of the maternity leave I was on SMP. When I return to work Ill be 16 weeks pregnant. Will I qualify for SMP again?
My confusion lies in the requirement that I must be continuously employed for 26 weeks prior to the 15th week before my due date. Firstly, Im not sure if my maternity leave, particularly the unpaid section will count as continuous employment. Also, when I return to work Ill be going back part-time. Will the new terms & conditions of employment mean I am now considered a new employee? Im sure others have gone through this, any advice/info please? xx
