how does maternity pay work over here in the uk ?

Question

I have my maternity leave in December which is for a year and I'm just wondering how the pay works .. Do i still get my full pay whilst I'm on maternity or do they cut it down to like half?

Answer

I get 4 weeks full, 2 weeks 90%, 12 weeks half, 21 weeks maternity pay (138 a week) then the final three months unpaid. I'm a teacher and that's standard for us. :-)

Answer

It depends on how long you have worked for the company you work for, what your paid and what their maternity package is. I work for a large corporate in the U.K., I get 12 weeks full pay, then 27 weeks at the government lower statutory maternity pay then 12 weeks where I just receive my pensions and benefits. Here is a link to the uk gov website which will help a bit but you need to check direct on your companies policy
