Maternity Gap, Minimum working Hours & Pay for (EEA)PR

[dhrupadidhamaka]

My wife is EEA national. In her current employment she is working for three years. In between last three years she was in maternity leave for 39 weeks and got statuary maternity pay as income was low. After her maternity leave she again join in the same job and continuing till now. In her job she works 12-15 hours/week and earns £70 to £80 per week.

My Query is:

1) How Maternity gap will affect on her continuous treaty rights ?
2) Do you think 12-15 hours work per week and earning £70 to £80 per week will effect in her treaty rights.

What is the exact law for above mentioned issue.

I will be really grateful if I get some kind advice for above mentioned issue.

Thanks in Advance...

As far as I am aware, SMP is not a gap, it counts like worker status.

Hi
She's absolutely in order. There's no earnings limit but the recommended average is 663 per month.

Someone else here on self employment 55£ per week income and 2 maternity gaps per 5years got his PR refused very recently and now appealing.

buktais, omonile, LilyLalilu thanks for all of your kind reply.

Actually still now I am not sure about weekly minimum works or income. As far I know minimum 10 hours/week should be fine. If I get refused for low income, do you think it will be against the EU law and I can appeal. I am really stressed regarding that..please help me with your advice....Thanks
