Maternity pay estimates incorrect.
Hi
I’m currently on maternity leave and was sent my maternity estimates by HR before I went on leave. I am taking blocks of shared parental leave and this was also accounted for in my estimates. I have just received my payslip for this month and it is £700 less than estimated. I know they are estimates but now I’m worried about the other estimates sent. Is it normal for the estimates to be this far away from the received total? Is there anything that can be done?

I would definitely query it! The estimate shouldn’t be that out. I didn’t even get any estimates!
@Marissa thank you. I had worked out my own but because I’m also doing shared parental leave I couldn’t get my head around this so only had normal estimates. HR said they’re looking into it so fingers crossed x
@Polly thanks. They’re looking into it today. I thought it could be a little bit out but am shocked if it’s that wrong. I asked for estimates to see if I wanted to do SPL etc so I could compare x

My HR refused to do estimates with shared parental leave. I did my own (was a giant headache) and each pay has been roughly the same but always more. I can’t remember exactly how I did it, I just remember working out the weekly pay but it gets tricky when you get paid 1st to end of month and it is more than 4 weeks so it’s all just an estimate. I would speak to HR and ask them how they calculated it, of course query the pay just incase it’s a mistake x
