Hello. I have been trying for a baby for nearly 18 mths. It hasn't happened so I have been avoiding changing jobs as my current job has good enhanced mat leave.
However, as I accept it may take me a long time (if ever) to have a baby, I am currently considering leaving my permanent position to take a fixed term contract on much better money.
The new firm also have an enhanced mat leave policy which seems to say it pays if you have done 24 weeks service by EDD. Bearing in mind I'm not pregnant now, this seems like I'd be eligible if I did get pregnant during the contract but I'm not sure how this works. Would they only pay me for the time remaining on my contract or would it extend beyond that for the full years mat leave? Thanks so much to anyone posting.
