im due to start back work sept 1st however I did not receive maternity pay but maternity allowance from government as I had just switched jobs when I found out I was pregnant. I am now looking for another job as I do not wish to go back to my previous (I have an interview lined up). I understand if payed maternity from employer you have to go back a minimum of 6 weeks. I was wondering whether this was the case with maternity allowance? I cant see how it could be when they did not pay towards my maternity. very confusing and don't feel I can ask my employer as they are not very helpful. If anyone knows anything regarding this matter info will be greatly received. thanks!
