Maternity Pay

[markie85]

Afternoon everyone,


Please can you help me.
My Girlfriend works full time for a Hotel as a waitress. (40 hrs per wk).
She is paid by BACS monthly and therefore pays NI and tax each month.

She has been working there for coming up to a year.

The whole time she has worked there she has never been given a contract of employment and neither do her colleagues.

If she falls pregnant will she be entitled to SMP Maternity pay for 12 months?
Or would she need a contract of employment?

Any help very much appreciated
