Howdy,
Random question of the day. What is the maternity pay at your workplace? And what is your entitlement?
I recall getting a choice of either 1 or 2 weeks which had to be taken in one lump and it was full pay.
I'm looking to see if that's the norm or if I was lucky

You were lucky in that most employers would only pay the SPL payment of £140 per week.0

At my old place Paternity leave was 2 weeks on full pay and didn't have to be taken as a 2 week chunk, could be split up over a certain time period.
For my first born I also took parental leave and had the summer off with him - that's unpaid though.0 -
Took it back in March.
2 weeks off (but I was given the option to split it into 2 to have at any time in the first 12 weeks?) but only got statutory pay0 -
fuck me, never existed when my kids were born, gonna get shot down here but as a employer it's a pain up the feckin arse.0

I would have got statutory paternity pay with the jobs I was in both times.
Bad time to drop down to getting paid £140 a week, so I just saved up my leave and took two weeks holiday both times.0 -
I've got 2 staff members coming up and was surprised when HR told me it was £139 per week.....didn't realise I was so lucky.northstandsteve said:fuck me, never existed when my kids were born, gonna get shot down here but as a employer it's a pain up the feckin arse.

I was given two weeks but was back at work within 48 hours as the wife and mother-in-law kicked me out on the basis that I was of no use.5

They let me take 2 weeks full pay but logged in every now and then to check everything was ok.0

It's more important to have the ability to pay for your off spring than be there
If they really moan they can have time and 3/4s and they can work their lunch and finish early0 -
I was under the impression that legally 'fathers' got 2 weeks full pay now from birth0
