Maternity pay
Has anyone ever successfully negotiated their maternity pay? My employer has agreed to pay me half my monthly wage for 6 months which is £20 more than SMP. Do I have to just accept this or can I request more? My colleague got 75% of her monthly wage but apparently we are on different contracts 🤷🏻♀️

Have a look at an account called nugget on Instagram as they explain how to negotiate etc
I would also be aware that some contracts stipulate if you don’t go back to work you have to pay back what the employer pays you as extra.
Nothing wrong with making a counter offer, in any negotiation. Worst they can say is no. Good luck.
Thank you all! Does anyone know if you can claim SMP for the first 6 weeks and then switch?

I think it would depend on your contract. Most places it is what it is and there’s no negotiation
