Reduced holiday's due to maternity leave - Correct?

My employer has acknowledged the accrued holidays. This is the first time he has had a pregnant employee so it's all new for both of us! Thanks

You are entitled to the time, but you will find your actual daily pay will be less than usual. Holiday pay is generally worked out on an average of monies earnt, and for 6 months you will earn less than you would when working (i assume).

Hi,
Ive been speaking to my employer today about this very subect!!
You are entitled to all annual leave allowance whilst on paid and unpaid leave.
In my company we also get our bank holiday entitlement while you are still receiving maternity pay,but not during any unpaid leave.
Ive been on maternity leave for 9 months now(taking full 12mths) and my employer has worked it out that i am owed 4 weeks leave out of last years holidays so am adding this on at the end of my maternity leave so i get to stay off till Sept.
Id love to stay off work longer,but me and hubby getting sick of beans on toast!!

No, this is not quite correct. For the first 26 weeks, you are not allowed to be discriminated against. You therefore accrue your leave at your CONTRACTUAL rate (in my case, 26 days per year). After 26 weeks, you accure at the STATUTORY rate (ie, 20 days per year). In the case of the OP, as her contractual rate is the same as her statutory rate, it all comes out the same.

Had this fight already with my employer this year...
