If you are pregnant and working in the UK, you may be wondering how long your maternity leave will be. The good news is that UK law entitles most pregnant employees to a minimum of 52 weeks of maternity leave. This leave can be taken all at once, or split into several periods, as long as the total amount does not exceed 52 weeks. In this blog post, we will discuss the length of maternity leave, how to take maternity leave in the UK, the benefits often associated with this time away from work, and what rights you have as an employee.
