Statutory maternity pay

[FearnRJ]

I'm currently on maternity leave. I finished on Saturday 7th of March, I'm using 3 weeks holiday so maternity doesn't officially start until this Sunday. We have closed now due to the Coronavirus we are getting 80% pay. What I'm wondering is for 6 weeks I'm supposed to get 90% of pay and then it goes down to the maternity pay will I still get the 90% or will it be 80%? We are closed for 3 weeks at the minute so if it reopens after then will I go back up to 90% for the remaining weeks or stay at 80%.

I'm confused x

You'll have to ask your employer, but I would be surprised if they put you down to 80%. Maternity pay is a separate thing and likely reimbursed by the government in full, if your employer is small enough to qualify for the CV wages grant.
