I can easily get lots of overtime at work, they're crying out for people to do extra shifts. I don't normally because of the extra childcare costs, however I'm now 13 weeks pregnant and therefore approaching my qualifying weeks.... is it considered morally wrong to do lots of extra shifts during my qualifying weeks to bump up my mat pay or does everyone do this? I'm actually currently working just under my contracted hours as part of a flexible working arrangement, could I just do enough extra shifts to bring me up to full time and therefore get 90% of my full time pay when I'm on mat leave, rather than 90% of my reduced hours pay?
What exactly are the qualifying weeks, I thought they were weeks 15-19? Anyone know?
