Maternity pay

Hi, so I have a question about when I will get the first payment of maternity leave, I started my maternity leave on 12/07/2024 but before that I had a week of holiday, this Friday 9th August I know that week of holiday would be paid but will I be also get the maternity leave payment or would that be next month? Idk if it makes sense but I’m so confused and my boss is not giving me an answer. Thank you!

I didnt think you could receive annual leave while you were on Maternity leave. It was either to be taken before mat leave starts or when you return. I could be wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maternity pay will start from the day after you finish your holiday, you can't get both at the same time x

So this months pay will just be the one week of holiday then right?

my boss said I could get the one week I have accumulated and then start the maternity leave but she didn’t mention how it will be paid

Usually paid the same way you normally get your wages paid. I get paid monthly so it'll be the same noted on my wage slip. I also have annual leave accumulated so using that up 1st from next week then my mat leave starts officially from my due date in September.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Vitamins

Little one is now 6 months old and the Health Visitor recommended that we start giving her some vitamins. Anyone got any recommendations of good brands/where to buy these? Thanks ☺️
