new job?

[Crinkles90]

In a bit of a dilemma... Ive been offered a job starting the 8th feb (not with the company i work for now) and as we are ttc I'm looking at the finances once little peanut is born.. Ive worked for the same company since my third year in uni *although that year was a paid internship* with my 1st i didn't qualify for smp but with my other two i did along with the companies maternity package.


If I was to move to this new job would I qualify for smp if we have been lucky enough to conceive this month also would i qualify if we were to conceive in feb *this is our first official month of ttc and I'm not expecting a bfp anytime soon but sods law it'll happen!


i tried looking on the gov website but it keeps saying page can not be displayed so thought id try here


thank you

As long as you have worked for your employer continuously for at least 26 weeks up to the ‘qualifying week’ - the 15th week before the expected week of childbirth - then you are entitled to SMP. https://www.gov.uk/maternity-pay-leave/eligibility

Do you really want the job? If so then go for it as you can't predict pregnancy at all.
