Only getting 80% of my maternity pay

Like the title says... Due to coronavirus outbreak my previous workplace has to close, it is in hospitality.

I was on a temporsry contract so not due back but was eligible for maternity pay. Just been told today that because they have to close and I'm still on payroll I too will only be getting 80% and I have to sign up to it myself.

Is this right? Can they do this to me? It's already not a massive amount but I know others are in worst positions.

SMP I meant

No that isn't right. They need to keep paying you your SMP, if that is what you are on.
