Statutory Maternity Pay Sample Clauses

Statutory Maternity Pay. Statutory Maternity Pay is payable during the first 39 weeks of maternity leave and will be paid as complete weeks, but employees will continue to be paid on a monthly basis in accordance with the normal payroll timetable and payment method. If the employee fails to comply with the notification provisions outlined above she may lose her entitlement to SMP. Normal pay applies whilst the employee is at work. All SMP ceases upon return to work. Mothers who qualify are entitled to up to 39 weeks' Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP). To qualify, the employee must: • work for an employer who is liable (or would be liable but for the employee's low earnings) to pay the employer’s share of Class 1 National Insurance contributions • have average weekly earnings in the eight weeks up to and including the qualifying week at or above the lower earnings limit for the payment of National Insurance contributions • have 26 weeks' continuous service with her employer assessed at the 15th week before the week the baby is due. The first 6 weeks of SMP is paid at 90% of average weekly earnings and the remainder at the lower statutory level (or 90% of the average weekly earnings, if this is less than the lower level). SMP rates are normally increased in April each year. Current rates can be found on our Employment Law at Work data web page or via the XXX.XX website

There are two levels of SMP. There is a standard rate and a lower rate. If the standard rate is more than 90% of your average weekly salary during the qualifying period, your SMP will be 90% of the average weekly earnings and not the standard rate.

  • Maternity/Paternity Leave Solely for purposes of determining whether the Employee incurs a Break in Service under any provision of this Plan, the Advisory Committee must credit Hours of Service during an Employee's unpaid absence period due to maternity or paternity leave. The Advisory Committee considers an Employee on maternity or paternity leave if the Employee's absence is due to the Employee's pregnancy, the birth of the Employee's child, the placement with the Employee of an adopted child, or the care of the Employee's child immediately following the child's birth or placement. The Advisory Committee credits Hours of Service under this paragraph on the basis of the number of Hours of Service the Employee would receive if he were paid during the absence period or, if the Advisory Committee cannot determine the number of Hours of Service the Employee would receive, on the basis of 8 hours per day during the absence period. The Advisory Committee will credit only the number (not exceeding 501) of Hours of Service necessary to prevent an Employee's Break in Service. The Advisory Committee credits all Hours of Service described in this paragraph to the computation period in which the absence period begins or, if the Employee does not need these Hours of Service to prevent a Break in Service in the computation period in which his absence period begins, the Advisory Committee credits these Hours of Service to the immediately following computation period.
