    Hi,

    Congrats on your pregnancy.

    There are no changes to maternity leave since you were last on it. The EU are trying to bring in a new law regarding full pay for maternity leave but I doubt it ll be passed by the time you go on yours. We all know how slow the wheels of power move:D 😀

    Hope this helps

    Full pay for maternity leave 😯 Cannot see that getting passed, that would cripple small businesses!!!

    Yeah Taylor, 20 weeks full pay. Thats a lowering of the glass ceiling for women. What company is going to employ a woman of child bearing age over a man with the same qualifications? Not many I fear

    would totally cripple small business esp in this recession where so many are struggling as it is

    your right its not going to do any woman in the work force any favours….. maybe the mega big companies could afford to pay it, but your average company to just allow a member of staff to go on maternity leave is a pain in the bum for them, ha now they might have to pay FULL PAY….. great idea and brilliant if you were going on maternity leave, but cant see it happen

    Then again i do know smallish companies who could afford to pay something (maybe not full pay for 20 weeks but something) but dont, just because they can get away with it!!

    Depending on what time within the last 3 years,don’t you get an extra 4 weeks SW payment? I know i got more on second child than I did with my first.

    All the details should be on this site..
