Hi As far as I know you should get 26 weeks paid, this probably wont be all at full pay, councils and banks etc usually give more than the standard maternity pay. You can however take upto a year off. Liz

I think you may need the services of your husband rather than your boss, lol.

Hi, I'd like to have a baby next year and I work for Notts County Council. Haven't a clue how long I'll get off and how my pay is affected. I dont want to ask my boss and the pack I applied for hasnt come yet. Has anyone any idea? Thanks, Laura xxxxxxxx
