Hi all, I'm 29 years old and have been working with a company for a year. I don't particularly love my job, as I think the bosses (2 men ) are very machists and create an unhealthy environment for all the girls, we are 5 therapists. I found out I was pregnant 4 weeks ago and I have no idea when I should tell them, I have worked for myself my entire life and this is my first time as employee. I wish to leave as soon as I can, but don't want to lose my maternity pay, I have to admit my main worry is boss making my life hell for being pregnant , I'm actually a bit scared of saying to them but I know that I have to do so legally.
Can someone explain to me how does the 52 weeks work? I want to leave and not come back but I don't want to lose any money.
Could I leave at 12 weeks ? Thanks x Smile

You could just call in sick a lot and start mat leave as early as possible.

Thanks AnotherEmma and Buckyou that's the plan. Thanks a lot. I wasn't born in the uk and don't know much about things work over here. Thanks again.

You're welcome but AuntieStella isn't the only mumsnetter who doesn't like being addressed as "girl", FYI!
