  Maternity Policy  (48 Posts) SeverineH Sun 02-Dec-12 21:02:03
I am 15 weeks pregnant for the first time so I am very excited
but the joy is been spoiled since I read the maternity policy of
the company I have been working. I have working for a private
company for almost 20 months in a middle management position and
I will be entitled to 6 weeks only of maternity pay at 90% of
average earnings and 33 weeks of SMP. I want to appeal and would
like to benchmark my company's maternity policy with other
companies. I am wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me who
you work for and what maternity pay your company currently
offers. All answers will be highly appreciated!  Many Thanks,

there is no right of appeal, and lots of companies only pay
statutory maternity pay.  You could try and convince them to pay
you more- effectively like a bonus- or change the policy, but
it's not something you can 'appeal' I'm afraid.  tilder Sun
