    Yes it does not make sense but it depends...I've been working with one company for two years and when I became pregnant I had to leave because it was a physical risk to the pregnancy. Since then I could not find a job at all and we are currently in the process of dealing with it 3 months into the pregnancy.

    Hi, Esther
    Your video has always helped me withy personal queries..
    Probably I would have qualified for SMP with my employer.
    But guess what?
    After my VISA I was told to hold on for some set of Nurses to make a Cohort.
    So I got pregnant during the period and missed fee weeks of service.
    But with this information, I know inshAllah I will be qualified for Maternity allowance after 8 months of working.
