One month unpaid maternity leave- how affect prsi?

[Mauraf]

Hi...

My employer has paid me in full for my maternity leave - but I wish to take 6 weeks unpaid before I return to work....can anyone please advise if this break in pay will affect my PRSI?

Thanks!

On your return to work you should get the section at the back of the maternity benefit form completed and returned by your employer so that the credits while you were on unpaid leave will be added to your record. Therefore there will be no break in your PRSI record
