I work for the NHS and am currently 10+4 weeks pregnant. I find my job incredibly stressful and am planning to ask to reduce my hours. I have some questions I was hoping other NHS employees may be able to help with.
I was wondering whether reducing my hours after the 8 week period that is used to calculate average pay for mat leave would have any implications for my mat pay? Or would I still get it based on my higher number of hours?
Also, the mat policy states they 'average the pay in the 8 week period leading up to the last pay day before the 15th week before the expected week of delivery'. Does this mean the 8 week calendar period rather than the 8 week pay period as appears in your pay packet? As antisocial hours are paid a month in arrears - would it be the ACTUAL hours I worked during that period or the money I received in that pay packet (which would be a month behind).
I think I've done a terrible job of explaining my questions, I hope someone is able to decipher them! Thanks.
