Work out if an employee qualifies for statutory maternity pay
Key points
To work out whether or not an employee is entitled to statutory maternity pay, the employer will need to know when the baby is due, and the employee's continuous service and average weekly earnings.
An employee may still be entitled to statutory maternity pay if their employment terminates before the start of their maternity leave.
