I work part time in a school and am on a temporary contract which ends on the 12th April - baby is due 5th May, I don't think I am eligible for SMP because I was about 3 weeks pregnant when my contract began. I am actually beginning maternity leave on 1st March. I am eligable for Maternity Allowance (which you get from the govt if you don't get SMP) because I have worked the requisite amount of time (2 contracts in the same school - one running from Jan 09 - Aug 09 and my current one which started in Sep 09). I am just concerned that I may get SMP until my contract ends (12th April) but then won't get the Maternity Allowance (which lasts for 39 weeks). Would that happen or would I get SMP until that date and then MA afterwards?
Thanks if you got through all that
