Not sure im posting this is the right place but here goes.
I am currently trying for my first baby with my boyfriend and i have a question about maternity pay.
I work for the NHS and have done for over 2 years but i also have a part time job cleaning for a company on top of that were i have worked for over a year, both will offer me maternity packages which is great but i obviously wont be able to go back to both jobs after takin maternity leave as will be too much aswell as looking after baby.
Ideally what i wanted to do was work as far up to my due date with NHS as i can because im sat down all day, then take my maternity leave but with the other job i would want to take maternity earlier in the pregancy as im on my feet and bending down etc and go back a month after babies born seen as its only 2 hours a day monday - friday, so in affect id be working at cleaning while still on maternity with NHS. Is this allowed?
