Me and my partner knew we wanted children early in our relationship, we had a separate maternity savings account which we used to support my year off, we had saved enough to take my monthly wage from the savings account, we saved the maternity pay & it went into a savings account for that child. I did have a good maternity package too! We’re doing the same for baby number two!
I’ve been on sick leave for 5 weeks and I’m due in September, I’m hoping to go back but I’m now worried about what my average earnings will be, currently my weekly earnings are £350 a week but where I was on sick pay my pay dropped to £300 for the month. Will I end up screwed if I end up needing to be off sick for longer
