To qualify for statutory maternity pay, an employee must notify their employer of their pregnancy by no later than 15 weeks before they are due to give birth. The employee should also provide a certificate from a doctor or midwife. This is usually done using a MAT B1 form. Full details can be found in MAT10 – Maternity Policy.
