Hi All,
Ok, so I've read, and re-read the above and just want to clarify.
It is not altogether unlikely that I will be made redundant before the year is out - and I am looking at the possibility of perhaps trying for a baby. Its not a given, which would obviously be ideal as I would be entitled to mat benefit if/when. I'm not trying to scrounge off benefits, I just want to know that if I am made redundant, that I'd be entitled to one or the other (JS or MB) -given the taxes I've paid in recent years.
If I am pregnant when I am made redundant, what are my entitlements?
Given that I won't be in insurable employment when I would have the baby (or not full time anyway-would look for work in the meantime, but not sure that in the current climate a pregnant person would be likely to be hired, regardless of 'equality' laws).
I've been in continuous employment for 4/5 years since returning from travelling. He will be in continuous employment.
The fact that I would be pregnant, would I even be entitled to JSA given they will assume that I'm not 'seeking', even if I was...
Hope that make sense...just wondered was anyone pregnant when they were made redundant and what it meant for them?
Cheers,
PB
