Getting pregnant during maternity leave

Meet Jen.

Jen is currently on maternity leave after having her first child and has an entitlement of 52 weeks in total.

For the first eight weeks, Jen received her full salary pay (which is inclusive of the statutory maternity pay which she qualified for).

Having completed eight weeks at full pay, for the next 18 weeks she is due to receive half of her full pay (plus statutory pay).

After 26 weeks of maternity leave, Jen will continue to receive her statutory maternity pay for an additional 13 weeks.

After 39 weeks, her final 13 weeks of maternity leave will be unpaid.

Jen’s maternity pay has been calculated based on both her average weekly earnings and also regularly paid supplements including payment for work outside of normal hours and high-cost areas supplement for the eight-week period before the qualifying week.
