Question: can i work while receiving maternity pay?
Answer: If you are getting Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP) or Shared Parental Pay (ShPP) then you can only work for the employer paying you SMP, SAP or ShPP (but see below). If you are getting Maternity Allowance (MA) then any work, whether self employed or for any employer, counts as a KIT day.
