0h contract

[Isu95]

Hi everyone :)

I have a question, I'm working with a 0h contract, and I'm expecting a baby, will I get maternity pay or not?

I've been working in this place for 2 months now.

Thanks

Not sure about the 0 hr part, but you have only been there 2 months, on that basis I would say no. I think you can claim maternity allowance, but from my understanding you have to have been working for a certain amount of time before a certain point in your pregnancy, you will have to provide payslips

What does it say in your contract?

It doesn't say nothing about it in my contract.
I'm just 6weeks pregnant and by the time I'll have to stop working, I will have work there for a few months already

It depends on your average earnings in the 8 weeks before week 32

No you won't. You'll have to claim maternity allowance. I had to check for someone the other day. They started their job in September. They needed to have started in June. Baby due 24/3. There is a SMP calculator on the .gov website. this will tell you.
