Hi all, can anyone help with my question...
I am based in UK but have been offered contract work in the states (work remote) but I wanted to try for a baby in the next 3m or so.
Obviously they have less maternity rights then us. Also if im a contractor I dont constitute as an "employee" anyway.
So I guess my questions are
1 is the anything I should be wary off should I do get pregnant during this contract?
2 What would be my rights and what benefits can I get?
If I only get Statutory pay, the difference is around 150 month between my paid maternity for UK job vs statutory only.
Also the US contract means a £4k salary increase vs my UK role (without tax) for that year prior to maternity leave.
- How does maternity work if your a contractor (and self tax I guess)
Thanks
