I was just wondering what is the normal situation regarding companies in Ireland. Do they generally pay the difference between the maternity benefit and the employees monthly wage ?
If so, are companies reviewing this in light of the increase from 18 weeks maternity to 26 from March next year ?
If you do a search, you will find a number of previous threads on this topic.
In my experience, there is no "norm" in the private sector in Ireland.
Lots of companies do, lots dont,
