This does not depend on how long you have worked for your employer"." While you are on maternity leave, you may be entitled to maternity pay either under your contract of employment or by law through Statutory Maternity Pay or Maternity Allowance, which can be paid for up to 39 weeks".http://www.worksmart.org.uk/rights/what_time_off_work_am_i_entitled"Pregnant employees are entitled to reasonable paid time off for antenatal care. The law also provides for 52 weeks' maternity leave which for all employees is available from day one of employment. This may be paid leave for the first 39 weeks, provided you have worked continuously for the same employer for 26 weeks by the 15th week before the child is due. If not then you may be entitled to receive Maternity Allowance: this is also the case if you are self employed or earn below the Lower Earnings Limit".
