Hi just wondering if anybody can help me or has any advise.
I basically have to apply for maternity allowance because I haven't been working at my current job long enough to receive SMP.
Maternity allowance says you have to have worked 26 weeks within 66 weeks. Which I have, two different jobs it also says you can use 13 weeks payslips. Can I use this from my old job?
Also I've seen a lot of people saying use the wage slips with highest pay ( I would like to use my old job as I earned more there )
But I keep reading online that you'll get
90% of your wage or £140 whichever is lowest. I earn £228 a week so will I get 90% of this!? Or not. Surely there's no point in getting my highest pay if it's higher than £140 ??
So confused. I will ring helpline tomorrow on my lunch break. Hopefully I'll get through to them in half an hour! Xxx
