Maternity Pay in NHS
Anyone else work for the NHS and know what you are entitled to? I read the policy for our Trust and really can't get my head round it.
Over 12 months continuous service you are entitled to 26 weeks ordinary leave and 26 weeks additional leave. If you are returning to work it is broken down as:
39 weeks Statutory Maternity/Adoption Pay:
8 weeks at full pay
18 weeks at half pay, plus any Statutory Maternity/Adoption Pay or Maternity Allowance (including any dependents'allowances) receivable, providing the total receivable does not exceed full pay
13 weeks at ??112.75 or 90% of pay, whichever is lower.
I think I may email my friend who is off on Maternity leave at present to see what she did. I am also going to email someone in H.R. to find out as I really can't get my head around it at present ?

Also be warned; when you actually leave your job, even if you are transferring to another NHS role, if you put on your letter of resignation that your last day of service is a Friday, as you start your next job on the Monday, they will deduct the Saturday and Sunday off you, even if you don't work weekends!!! ALWAYS write that your last day of service is the Sunday date, making your last actual working day the Friday date. I've worked in the NHS 19 years, and the buggers will claw whatever they can back from you!!! Hope this helps; sorry it's a bit less than you thought
