The only plus side is it's full pay for the whole 50 days.

In the UK you can take 52 weeks maternity leave. You get 90% of your salary for the first 6 weeks and then the lesser of 90% or £117.18 for the next 33 weeks. The remaining 13 weeks is unpaid.

This is Article (96) on Maternity leave

A female worker who has been employed by an employer for a complete year shall be entitled to maternity leave with full pay for a period of fifty days. Such maternity leave shall include the period before and after the delivery provided that the period following the delivery shall not be less than thirty five days.

This leave shall be granted subject to a medical certificate issued by a licensed physician stating the probable date of delivery.

If the remaining period of the leave after delivery is less than thirty says the female worker may be granted a complementary leave from her annual leave. Otherwise the complimentary period shall be deemed to be a leave without pay.

If the medical condition of the female worker prevents her from resuming her work after expiry of her leave referred to in the preceding paragraphs the female worker shall be deemed to be on leave without pay provided that the period of her absence from works shall not exceed sixty consecutive or interrupted days and provided that a medical certificate of her medical condition shall be produced from a licensed physician.

The obtaining by the female worker of the delivery leave shall not prejudice her entitlement to her other leave.
