Missed making SMP payments

Posted Fri, 06 Oct 2023 10:05:23 GMT by
Hi, An employee on our company payroll started maternity leave in April. This was never communicated to finance from HR and the employee has received their usual salary for the past 6 months with no SMP made or recovered. Is there any way to rectify this and recover the 92% of the statutory amount that should have been reported?

Hi rwgwylie,

This can be quite a complex query as it all depends on what exactly the employee is entitled to, I advise you call the employer helpline on 0300 200 3200 they will be able to advise. 

Thank you.
