Chapter 3
If you are pregnant
[ch 3: page 43]The right to SSP technically ceases if you are on a pregnancy-related absence in the four weeks before the due date, however, in practice, an employer can choose to disregard odd days of pregnancy–related sickness absence. If you do not have a pregnancy-related illness, you can get SSP up to the day before SMP or MA is due to start.
