Maternity and Paternity leave
Maternity Leave Employees can take up to 52 weeks’ maternity leave. This is made up of 26 weeks’ Ordinary Maternity Leave and 26 weeks’ Additional Maternity Leave.
Employees will receive up to 39 weeks’ maternity pay, either Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) or Maternity Allowance (MA) depending on circumstances.
Maternity Allowance is paid by JobCentre Plus to employees who are not entitled to SMP because they have less than 26 weeks’ continuous service at the 15th week before their expected week of childbirth or do not earn enough to meet the lower earnings limit. Eligibility You will need to have 26 weeks continuous service at the 15th week before the Expected Week of Childbirth, to be eligible for maternity pay. Entitlements We offer an enhanced maternity pay scheme including return to work bonuses, dependant on your role and length of service. All details are available on the Intranet.
