Maternity leave

All employees who give birth can take statutory maternity leave (SML) of up to 52 weeks to care for their baby and recover from birth. During this period you may be able to claim statutory maternity pay for up to 39 weeks of your maternity leave. You are also entitled to paid time off for antenatal appointments.
