MSCA in UK and Maternity/paternity

Dear All,

I would like to ask if anyone here has had an MSCA in the UK and had children during it.

As I understand it, in this country maternity/paternity leave is not like in Spain. In Spain, if you give birth or adopt, you have the right to leave and they pay you all your salary for at least 4 months (16 weeks). But what happens if I am hired by a university in the United Kingdom through my MSCA grant? Do I lose the right to maternity leave since my contract is made with the UK?

PLEASE, COULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS WORKS WITH THE MSCA?
