Maternity Leave and Pay

All pregnant employees are entitled to at least 26 weeks of Ordinary Maternity Leave (OML). It doesn’t matter: how many hours you work, how long you have been in your job, or how much you earn. Most employees will usually qualify to be paid Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) or Maternity Allowance (MA) during ordinary maternity leave (see below). You may also qualify for Additional Maternity Leave (AML).
