tish501 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Hi could anyone tell me the law regarding staff ,leaving for Maternity, asking for payment of bank holidays in advance,ie leaving May expecting payment for May ,Aug and christmas bank holidays. Surely that is covered in their Maternity Money ? Quote
woodlands1997 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 You still have to pay them holiday pay even on maternity leave, so they still get however many hours holiday they are owed. I wouldn't pay in advance though so pay may bank holidays in May as well as maternity pay! Quote
tish501 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks, knew about the holiday pay etc it was just bank holidays that were the problem since they will occur within a normal SMP paid week...........or do I add this 3 or4 bank hols in the appropriate week,.? Puzzling x Quote
SueJ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Have you checked out the gov's online calculator? https://www.gov.uk/maternity-paternity-calculator Quote
tish501 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks has worked it all for me but no mention of Bank Holidays...Acas next I think xx Quote
woodlands1997 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 The 5.6 weeks includes bank holidays? 20 days and then the 8 bank hols? Any holiday will be paid in addition to SMP unless I'm misunderstanding! Quote
Mouseketeer Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Our 5.6 weeks pro rata does include all BHs that fall during our closed times, we only pay for the early May as it falls in an open week, and as said we still get our funding for that Monday, for instance I put a 11 wk term not a 10.4 on claim form for spring15, maybe other counties do deduct for BHs ? Quote
Inge Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 our LA deducts for the BH.. have to open another day to cover it.. but in most cases the holiday pay includes any BH.. they are not paid in addition to holiday pay. Quote
Mouseketeer Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Can any one tell me if SMP is paid every week regardless of being term time only or is there some daft way to calculate it like holiday pay ? 1 Quote
eyfs1966 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I believe it is every week not term time (but don't quote me!!) Quote
