Maternity Leave Pay

[Wussypants]

Thinking of ttc next year, looking over finances and the terms and conditions of my employer's maternity pay - which is confusing!!

One of my friends says her company pays full pay for an entire year, which I'm a bit and at.

AIBU to ask what your maternity pay is like?

Statutory, so rubbish 🙄

22 weeks full pay then statutory in my job

6months full pay, 3 months SMP, 3 months nowt

I hadn’t worked there long enough so I didn’t qualify to qualify for maternity allowance of about £140 a week.

Statutory where I work.

4 weeks full pay
6 weeks 90%
12 weeks 60% +SMP
12 weeks SMP

Personally I think it’s crap for a well paid job and regarded as highly
Professional!

complicated but something like 2 weeks at 100% then 6 weeks at 90% then 50% until 6 months then statutory until 9 months then nothing

6 months full pay, then 3 months SMP, 3 months unpaid.
6 months full pay almost over 😢

£145 a week 😣 Due in 2 weeks time... having 12 weeks off and going back to work. We can’t afford it.

Statutory, complete pants.

13 weeks full pay, 13 weeks half pay, 13 weeks SMP, 13 weeks unpaid

Six months full pay, three months SMP, three months of nothing.

Six months full, three months SMP, three months nothing.

3 months full basic pay (minus SMP) + car allowance
6 months smp+car allowance and
3 months car allowance only.

Not good enough in my opinion for a highly paid professional job to begin with, but much better than the 6 weeks 90% it was last year I suppose.

Twelve weeks 90%
Twelve weeks 50% plus SMP
Twelve weeks SMP
I'm lucky in that I get very generous annual leave and am rolling over most of this year's allowance (I've only taken ten days this year as I've accrued and then taken a lot of TOIL) , plus what I'll accrue while I'm off will give me another 56 days on full pay I can take before I actually physically go back, plus the ten full paid KIT days, should make the SMP only bit slightly more bearable.

Would be very surprised if it was a full year paid. Your don't even get smp for a full year.

6 months full pay
3 months statutory
3 months unpaid

But with accumulated Bank Holidays days and AL (30 days a year) as well as AL from the current year left over I can add another 2-2.5 months on at full pay.

Conditions vary from employer to employer and usually have restrictions ie need to have worked a certain amount of weeks / months to get any additional maternity on top of statutory maternity.

6 weeks at 90% then statutory

6months full pay, 3 months SMP, 3 months unpaid. Flexible working on return and the use of arrived holidays to reduce the working week (while still be paid full time) is actively encouraged to enable a phased return

13 weeks full pay, 13 weeks half pay, 13 weeks SMP, 13 weeks unpaid

The first 6 weeks at 90% is statutory.

12 weeks full pay, 12 weeks half pay, 13 weeks SMP then the rest of the year unpaid

18 weeks full pay then SMP

I've never heard of anywhere paying for a full year (former HR). That is extremely generous IME.

12 months full pay at my current company. Unfortunately I'm passed TTC and had two maternity leaves at my previous company at 90% for 6 weeks and the statutory until 9 months and then nothing for the remainder of the year
