I just found out that I am expecting and I'm also about to begin my F1 training. I wasn't aware that you had to have worked for the NHS for 12 months continuously before getting statutory pay- is this true? I will have worked 8 months by the time I have the baby. Am I only entitled to maternity allowance? Is there any other financial support is available please?
apparently that's right - if you aren't comfortable with initially discussing this with your employer, you can try your union or ACAS. Good luck!
