Statutory Maternity Pay

I’m 11 weeks pregnant and have worked for my employer since 2019. My contract is for 8 hours however I regularly work 16. As far as I’m aware my statutory work pay would have been calculated from hours worked between weeks 16 and 25, however my place of employment has now been closed due to the covid-19 pandemic. Where does this leave me in terms of eligibility to
maternity pay as I will no longer be working/earning over the threshold?

  • I think maternity allowance is the same amount as statutory maternity pay and would cover you in these circumstances, look it up on gov website
