Hi. don't know if anyone can help me with this, I'm trying to work out finances - I'm 14 weeks pregnant at the moment. I currently work full time but I'm hoping to work part time when I return to work after maternity leave. I know payments during maternity leave are calculated as percentages of wages e.g. 90%. Is this calculated on my full time wage before I go on maternity leave or my part time wage when I return? I know if you don't return to work the employers can get their contribution back (the bit they pay additional to SMP as part of 'good' employer benefit package), so if you only come back part time are you only eligable for part of it? Any advice would be good, can't find the info on the web.
Thanks
