Hi

I haven't been around for the last few weeks due to work, so I'm looking for another job as this one is ermmmm lets just say 'rubbish'?

As I'm still ttc and have never been preganant before I just wondered if there was any employment laws that state an employee has to be within an organisation for amount of months before being entitled to maternity pay. What I am worried about is I change jobs and then manage to get pregnant!

Thanks

In Canada, if you work for the government, as I do, then you get 1 year maternity leave...paid at 96% of your normal salary. Yipee!
