I am employed as a carer by an elderly lady with ms, her accountant has told me that because I do not pay national insurance I cannot claim maternity pay. I called the maternity benefit help line and they have told me I am entitled to 39 weeks paid leave. So my questions are..... If I manage to claim pay through work will she have to pay as she is on nothing but benefits or will she get help to pay this? Or will I have to go through the job centre to claim? I don't want to take it off her if she's not gonna get help to pay it as she doesn't get much and will have to pay me and another carer to cover. Please help, it's stressing me out big time!
