For Royal Mail Letters/Network and Central Functions units (excluding HR Services & Finance Operations) CWU represented grades, pregnant colleagues who have at least 1 Year’s continuous service and who qualify for Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) will qualify for full pay and assigned shift payments for the first 26 weeks (including 2 weeks compulsory Maternity Leave). They will then receive 13 weeks Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP).
