Best Answer

To qualify for Statutory Maternity Pay, you must satisfy the continuous employment rule.

You must have been employed by your employer for a continuous period of at least 26 weeks into the qualifying week (which is the 15th week before the week in which the baby is due). This period must include at least one day's employment in the qualifying week. You count the weeks back from the Sunday beginning the week in which the baby is expected.

Although continuous employment usually means employment by the same employer without a break, there are some circumstances when breaks in employment can be disregarded. The employment rule may be modified slightly if your baby is born prematurely.
