I am due to give birth 5th February. I work full time through an agency, where do I stand with maternity pay?

Question

my contract ends in december.

I live in UK

Answer 1

You need to find out from your agency what you are entitled to. Find out ASAP then you won't be stressing about it.

Answer 2

there is no maternity pay thru an agency. u better get a full time job with a company fast and dont tell them about u being pregnant and hope u will qualify for short term disability from the moment of being hired then tell them later on u just found out ur pregnant. cause atleast ul still be paid a portion of ur pay. maternity leave thru most companies is not paid leave.

Answer 3

You won't get any pay. Unless you have some form of Short Term Disability Insurance. Most companies do not PAY for maternity leave. If you are just on contract, no way you'd get paid anyhow.

Answer 4

I would search for a job that would allow u ur leave us poor guys just get £100 a week on perentity leave if the wife has to have a section she will need me around an with a usal wage of over £390 its a toughie

Answer 5

if you are a permanent employee you are liable for maternity leave

you say your contract ends in december which is a bit iffy ?

go to bbc.co.uk and on the left side of the screen click on parenting then go to pregnancy - there is a section which explains maternity pay etc...

good luck

Answer 6

No where unfortunately that the risk you take joining and agency- you get paid alot of money but alot of the time that includes holiday pay- you dont get sick pay, you dont get maternaty pay- sorry!!
You should check with your agent though really.

Answer 7

if your contract end in december if not renewed i dont think you will get paid unless it is renewed. you better check with the organisation.

Answer 8

i dont know but i do know this your child will be a good child of good nature like me THATS my birthday goodluck for the birth and future

Answer 9

You need to ask your employer not us
