Hi everyone,
I have never looked into what maternity pay is, I've only known that it exists. So today, I did a calculation on the gov.uk site and was shocked at how little SMP I would be paid if I fell pregnant. I showed my husband and he said "That's on top of your right salary... right?!" And until he asked that question is always thought that the only income you have whilst on maternity leave is the SMP. I'm on £30,000 and the calculator said I'd receive a total of around £7,000 for the 39 weeks. So... I'm asking a very silly perhaps common sense question:
Is Statutory Maternity Pay in addition to your regular wages or is it the only pay you receive?
