Maternity Leave Pension Scandal: Thousands of UK Women Potentially Affected
Thousands of UK women may have lost thousands of pounds from their pension funds due to a common error during maternity leave, according to a recent viral video by financial advisor nuggetsavings. The video highlights how employers are legally obligated to maintain pension contributions based on pre-maternity salaries, yet many women have discovered discrepancies in their pension statements.
