Hi just saw this on TikTok and its an hour drive from me, has anyone been and is it worth it?

I’m pregnant with my first and due in April and I initially put my maternity leave to start on my due date with a week of annual leave prior so I finish work at 39 weeks, but I keep seeing videos etc where people recommend finishing earlier! My question is for people who have had their maternity leave, did you feel ...

I’m looking at applying for maternity allowance (stoped working mid way through pregnancy so all I’m entitled to) I’ve worked the 13 weeks required in the time frame and earned enough but I didn’t pay national insurance because I didn’t earn enough to have to pay. It says about needing to have paid class 2 NI to qua...

I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant and working in a school, to date, a risk assessment has not been completed. I was just wondering if any other school staff have had theirs and what was included and if any adjustments were made? Thank you

Does anyone know how I can work out my NHS maternity pay with SMP on top? Yearly I make £39,850 so I don’t actually know how to work it out 😬 really stressing me out!

Do these exist? If so, I’m considering working again and this would be the best option for me due to mental health issues. TIA

I’m in total shock, feeling unappreciated and don’t know what to do. I’ve been challenging the maternity pay where I work as it’s statutory maternity pay….i work for a very well known football club. Today HR offered to pay me off!!! Totally unexpected and as a result of my ongoing discussions to try to influence the...

I know this is dependent on where you live, how many kids you have, lifestyle, debt, but I’m just curious a rough amount that people are actually comfortable on. My husband makes about $100k and it’s *barely* enough to just get by where we live. We have basically no debt, no car payments, just mortgage and normal ex...

Hi so I got this letter today, on Monday o got one weeks payment, should I have for the full amount in one lump sum??

If any of you are employed by Cardiff & Vale health board… have you had any back pay this month? Are we expecting back pay considering that we are on maternity leave? Thanks in advance!

Hey work from home Mamas, how do you make it work with your kids? I have an 8 month old and am potentially starting as a Financial Consultant, working remotely from home. I'm scared I won't be able to concentrate on work and won't be able to take care of my baby at the same time.

Hi all. My work have been really shitty with me prior to mat leave. I’m not eligible for any pay so have nothing I owe them if I don’t go back. Does anyone know of any work from home jobs? I’m based in West Yorkshire. I need to focus on my family but can’t afford not to work as won’t be entitled to my sons nursery...

Not Mary Jane related but I had to quit my job because I have to stay home with baby. Anyone know any places I could work from home?

I live in a small town ish, I worked in almost every fast food place where I am at, most of them won't hire me back, I even worked at a dollar general and I'm black listed, I'm getting to the point where I feel like stuck where I'm at, I haven't made any difference at all like I am wanting too, by now I should be go...

I’m due my second bubs in April 2025 so will have Matt leave from April 25 to April 26, which means I have a full years leave to take when I get back I plan to leave but understand ill need to stay for 3 months to pay back the OMP - do you think it’s feasible I use the accrued leave which covers 8 weeks, and then ...

I’ve sent my resignation letter by email a month before my return date. I got a reply saying “thanks I will get this processed for you” but it’s now been 4 days and haven’t heard from them? Should I just wait or contact them? I am also meant to get paid for 25 days annual leave.

Is anybody’s job hiring? I need a job bad, I’m tired of scramming for money for diaper

Anyone on maternity leave who is working in a school as support staff? Obviously we are getting back paid from April. Do you only get back paid from dates you was at work and not on maternity leave?
