Maternity Pay
Question asked by Helen Stephens 9 years ago
Hi, Back at the beginning of November an employee went on Maternity Leave (2nd Nov) and I entered her details through the statutory leave module. Her due date is 12 January 2016. When entering payroll this month, I have noticed that she is still receiving SMP at approximately 90% of her salary - where I was expecting a reduction as this is more than 6 weeks after her leave date. Payroll has calculated the following SMP: November SMP £1290.67 December SMP £937.50 January SMP £1236.28
Then I went through to February to see if SMP would be calculated at a lower rate, however, it still shows at approx £1K.
Please can you advise as a matter of urgency whether I am missing something, or if there is an issue with the program. I have taken a screengrab from the HMRC website SMP calculation and attached. Many thanks Helen
