Maternity Benefit

    Hi All :)

    Been rooting through internet pages & citizens information (no chance getting through to them) - hopefully someone can clarify something for me here.

    I am currently in full time employment (same job the past two years) however I am at my wits end, as I am 30 weeks pregnant and have fought to continue working (constant butting heads with a manager here).

    The only reason I have not handed in my notice is because I am under the illusion if I do, I will not receive Maternity Benefit from the state.

    I don't plan on returning back to employment - especially not here once Maternity is up.

    Can someone shed some light on this? If I decide to hand in notice now, will I lose Maternity benefit?

    Thanking you in advance!

    Thanks for that but I had also seen this on the website;

    All employees must have their leave certified by their employer. However, if your contract of employment ends within 16 weeks of the end of the week in which your baby is due and you satisfy the social insurance (PRSI) conditions, Maternity Benefit is payable from the day after the date on your P45.

    Why don't you get signed off sick, get your holiday and bank holiday entitlements from your job and hand in notice at end of maternity period.

    This only relates to a case where you are on contract work which is due to finish

    If you are in a permanent ongoing job, that doesn't apply
