I wish this happens before I start my maternity pay end of next month. All other countries in EU already pay more than UK and the basis in EU unlike in the UK
Women who have been working long they should be entitled to maternity pay based on their earnings not £123 per week which is not enough to pay mortgage. this discourages women to have kids and look after them properly as they will have to get back to work early because of money issues
Even in far east countries like India Govt employees are now paid 6 months full pay whereas private companies pay 3 months full pay which is much better than what the rates are in the UK
sound brilliant but i really cant see it happening. Shame really as it would mean many more mums get to spend that special time with there babies in the first few weeks reather than rushing back before they are ready.
