Hi guys I am hoping someone can help me by confirming if I can claim overseas employment points for the following circumstances - Furlough I was placed on furlough due to the Covid pandemic for a period of 11 weeks between January 2021 and April 2021. As part of the terms of furlough I was not allowed to undertake any other form of paid work. I have an email from my employer confirming the position. Maternity Leave Maternity leave- my employers paid me statutory maternity pay on two separate occasions for 39 weeks. I received 90% of my salary for the first 6 weeks then the statutory amount which was approx £145 per week in 2018/2019 and then £151 per week in 2020/2021 for 33 weeks. I have wage slips from my employer showing they paid statutory maternity pay. I have seen some materials that suggest it needs to be “employer paid leave” or words to that effect but I am not sure what that means in practice and the nuances of certain circumstances. Thanks for any advice or general steer.
