I’m hoping someone can help me before I have to go to HR to ask.
so I started my post in the nhs 10th July 2023 and went on maternity leave on the 21st April 2024, had my baby 30th April 2024. She is now 1.
I returned to work from my maternity leave on the 14th April and have recently found out I’m pregnant again, which is really exciting but I’m also worried about my pay entitlement. With my first pregnancy I was a week or so out of getting the enhanced nhs maternity pay so I only got statutory, but I am wondering this time whether I will get the full nhs maternity pay since I’ve technically been under nhs employment since July 2023, or whether the fact I’m not long back at work and won’t have worked a full 12 months before baby 2 arrives I now won’t get the full pay again? Quite anxious about it all. Hopefully someone can give me some answers. This should be such a happy time 😞
