  • hi gem, you dont get paid if you extend it to twelve months, unless urempoyer decides to pay you. the national minimum requirements of employers is to pay the nine months maternity, if you extend it to 12 they dont have to pay you. i was worried about having to worl a bit before packing it in and cos my emplyer wont pay more than minimum i just aint gonna go back after 9 months otherwise imite owe em summats. hope this helps. there is info on the gov website, try googling maternity benefits

  • Yep everything lizad says! I have a copy of my company's maternity policy and it states how long I need to return to work for so that I don't owe them any money. It also happens to be 3 months, not sure if that's the standard though.
