Hello!
I'm a hospital doctor in the NHS- due to start mat leave next week.
Just received two letters from payroll. One confirming my occupational mat pay, another saying I won't get statutory mat pay once occ runs out and that I can apply for mat allowance.
The reason they've ticked is that I haven't been employed long enough. I've been with the NHS continuously since Aug 2010 and this trust since Aug 2012. The only thing I can think ( aside from hoping its a mistake!) is that I did a 4 month rotation at a nearby hosp that was not part of the same trust which ended just as I fell pregnant.
This was part of my 2 year training contract though. Also, surely if its not counted as "continuous" then I shouldn't qualify for the occupational part?
They advised me that in terms of returning to work- ANY nhs role counts as the same employer so am really hoping this is an admin error. Frustratingly I opened it after payroll had gone home so can't check til tomo.
Any advice to prevent a sleepless night?
Thanks & sorry it's a bit rambly.. Panicking about potential poverty! X
