Being made unemployed during maternity leave.

morgwick · Feb 8, 2010 5:58AM

Hi, can anyone give any advice,

I am 36 weeks pregnant, and due to start my maternity next week. My boss has just informed me that he his retiring on the 5 April so my job will no longer be available. However, he has been in discussion with a another firm, who he used to be in partnership with, and agreed for them to employ me under the same conditions as I am on now.

However, who pays my maternity after 5 April? Will it be my new boss (even though I've not worked for them) or will I lose what is owed to me (there will be about 1 week at the higher rate pay).

Thanks for any advice, as I am really shocked and upset at the moment I can't think straight.
