Hi I know I should have already looked these things up but a girl in our office started gloating a bit when I said I was hoping to take a year off with extra maternity leave. She said "you won't get paid at all for anything over 9 months you know" I felt a right duffuss that I didn't know this and am a bit worried now. I would still like to take a year if I can obviously would be better if it was paid, but now I realize how little I know about this stuff! Anyone who could poss give me a v.brief idea of the procedure would be a real help ta x

standard SMP is paid for 9mths full info here Expecting or bringing up children : Directgov

If you qualify for SMP, it is paid:

• for the first six weeks at 90 per cent of your average gross weekly earnings with no upper limit
• for the remaining 33 weeks at the lower of either the standard rate of £123.06, or 90 per cent of your average gross weekly earnings

Thanks MM The bodysuit is incredibly cute... But it's one of those that don't have poppers down the front so you have to pull it over the head...
