Maternity pay

by Working Families

I started my job when I was already pregnant. What maternity pay will I get?

answer

You will not be entitled to Statutory Maternity Pay.

So unless you have extra rights to maternity pay written into your contract then you will probably be entitled to Maternity Allowance only. How much you get will depend on your earnings, although there is a top rate, currently £112.75.
