Ahh ok, When it says on gov that you get 90% of average wages for the rest of the time, and the employer says 50% for the remainder aren't they cutting the smp to a lower rate?
90% is only for 6 weeks, and then you get either £184 a week or 90% of your wages (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks. So say you usually earn £2000 a month, your boss will be paying you £1000 instead, which is a fair bit more than SMP x
Hope that makes sense! I was confused at first, had to get HR to sit me down and explain it fully!
Yes that makes sense, thank you so much! X
As far as I’m aware nope. Unless you’ve got the worlds nicest employer 😂 they’re paying you enhanced maternity pay, so no you won’t get SMP aswell. It’s just for employees whose bosses are tight bastards 🥲 I think this job sounds pretty nice!
