Maternity Pay Help!

Becka88

Hi everyone, this is my first post so please bear with me!

I have a 1yr old boy at the moment, before he was born I had two jobs, both in caring, both zero hours contracts. Job 1 was working for a private health care company doing about 20 hours a week. Job 2 was caring for my sister who is disabled. I would only do job 2 when my sister (the primary carer) was on holiday or sick. Since having my boy, job 1 could only offer me evenings work so I decided to leave job 1 and remain with job 2. Thankfully my partner earns enough to be able to support us all. Now this is my quandary….

We want another baby, but I only earn very little from job 2 ( about £900 a year) so I am unsure what maternity pay I would be entitled to.

Any info would be appreciated!

PS: Not sure what this is

I was looking into employing some one recently and I found out that unless your earning more then lower earnings limit (£104 or £109 a week) your not entitled to maternity pay from your employer.

You might get it off the government though, probs wait for a 2nd opinion as I only found this out a couple days ago and I might of got it wrong.
