I'm a freelancer at my job but only work for one employer and they sort out my tax (PAYE I think). I'm due in January but have only been back at work since my first child since January and I'm trying to work out if I qualify for maternity allowance. I've been looking at the gov website but my frazzled brain isn't computing it at all. Do I need to have worked 26 weeks by 15 weeks before my due date? Or is it 13 weeks (it mentions 13 test weeks) I know I should probably just speak to my hr about it but I haven't really told anyone at work yet so want to be armed with facts if possible! Any help or guidance would be great. Thanks!!
