Hi everyone.
I would be really grateful for some advice & to find out if anyone has any personal experience with this…
I am currently on maternity leave with my 4 month old son. I am an NHS worker band 5 and receiving OMP spread over 12 months and SMP. I actually got a new job (band 6) in January and due to start back from maternity a little earlier in August so they are adjusting my maternity pay I believe.
However, I have just found out I am pregnant again, Due in November. Will I still be entitled to maternity pay even if I don’t manage to get 12 weeks back to work in? Also, if I am entitled to maternity pay again later this year then how will they work out what I get as I won’t be working in my quaifying weeks. Will this be based on my old band 5 wage or my new band 6 salary.
Very complicated. I feel such a burden and reluctant to contact my new manager until I’m 12 weeks but I just want to get my head around what’s going to happen.
Thank you in advance 😀
