If a business goes bankrupt, why can they open another business?

If a business goes bankrupt am i still entittled to maternity leave??

  • we were just told the business i work for is going under and i worked out its around the same time i take my maternity leave, will i still be entittled to get this from the goverment???

  • Answer:

    If your company goes bust and cannot pay Statutory Maternity Pay you will get paid Maternity allowance by the DWP instead. It is paid at the same rate as SMP and for the same 39 weeks period. The only difference is paid directly by the DWP rather than your employer Maternity Allowance pays a standard weekly rate of £117.18 or 90 per cent of your average gross weekly earnings (before tax), whichever is the smaller. MA is paid for a maximum of 39 weeks.

in the US there's no government paid maternity leave in other countries, who knows but if company goes under, benefits go away. . .if you're unionized, there's some protection

the government will give you some money if you talk to them and if you do not have an other source of income
