MATB1 form

[mumofmunchkin]

This is my third pregnancy so you would think I would know this, but I really can't remember.

Both mine and dh employers need my MATB1 form, but I only get one. Should one of them get a photocopy?

Your employer needs the proper copy x

Thanks, so dh can take it and show them (and they can photocopy it or whatever) and then I get the original back for my employer?

Noooooo ... you photocopy and give du the copy.

It’s hard to get a second MATB1 if they lose it

I never got the original back from my employer (I suppose there is still time but as I finish work next week, I’m not holding my breath!) so it might be worth asking your midwife if you could have two copies if both need the original?

@mumofmunchkin you photo copy x

You photocopy yours and give the copy to your dh. They shouldn't need the original but your employer will.

My OH employer has never never an original that's for the woman.

In fact my OH employer never saw the MatB1 either time I am pretty sure.

The original one goes to your employer.

Fab, thanks guys!

What everyone else said! Photocopy for partner, original for you.

There is no legal requirement for a father's employer to see the MATB1, let alone the original in order to get SPP.
