Changing jobs in pregnancy and contractual maternity pay

renee791

Hi, I changed jobs mid pregnancy as my last job was a fixed term post. I'm starting a new job at the moment but will only be able to when 10 weeks before my due date. Now I'm told by both employers that I don't qualify for contractual maternity pay. This seems very unfair to me after having worked full time my entire life. Had anyone come across this situation? Is there a way to fight it? Thanks x

Maybe look into short term disability insurance
