Hi all, I currently work as a Sonographer and I’ve recently reduced my hours to part-time due to childcare. My daughter is now two and we’re talking about having a second. I regularly do bank shifts (3 Saturdays a month) and wanted to know if that would be taken into consideration for maternity pay. Or if only my salary will be used.
I’m curious because we have staff members that are on bank (not permanent staff) and I’m sure they get some entitlement for maternity leave

I think it depends on the trust, so check with HR. But the shifts you pick up within the qualifying period (I think 15-23weeks) should go towards your maternity pay

I think it depends on how your bank works. I did bank through NHSP and was therefore able to claim SMP from them and get mat pay from my substantive post
