Anyone know if this will work
We are trying for a baby and I am working out what I will dp when the time comes to stop working. I can't afford to stop for long but my plan is to get an assistant for last month til due date then take a few weeks off. I am hoping that my assistant will be registered as a childminder by then but can guarantee it so I could possibly take off longer and she could take over my mindees and just pay me for bills so I don't lose my mindees. If I did this could I still claim maternity allowance as technically wouldn't be working.
If assistant not registered by then I plan to be here but on a supervisory role only and she will take on the responsibility I just will be here so she isn't on her own and I can focus on my new baby. How would this affect me claiming maternity allowance, assuming I would have to take no income.
