You just give your MATB1 to your employer and HR does the rest. I just thought I would let you know that if you want or if it’s easier some employers let you split it over however long you’re off so I split mine over 12 months. Congratulations and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well
Thank you! @Sandrine jazakAllah khair sis @Needa
I am SO jealous. I get 6 weeks at 90% pay and then 33 weeks at lower rate statutory……😭
yeah fair play to your employer! 6 months full pay is such a good perk, 6 weeks at 90% is the basic they can do, so they’ve got a decent maternity policy there 👏🏼
@CharlotteI know it’s really good! I work for the government too! My dad’s company give 12 months full pay!
I’m a teacher so I had hoped the pay would be better but apparently not😅 fair play to you!
@Charlotte for me also it's like that... Within my 5th month, Only NI will be in my payslip🤣
@Charlotte same 😭 saw your comment after this saying you're a teacher, I work in the school office so maybe it's just the education system 😭so annoying
@Charlotte I have the same pay! Working 6 years at the company, management position and basic maternity!
@Amelia I'm a Health Professional. I think it's all about the company.
You just need to get your MAT B1 form to your employer by 25 weeks. HR will handle everything as long as you've been working there since at least 41 weeks before your due date.
