Question

Quickbooks online isn't working out employee's Statutory Maternity Pay. I've followed the instructions but still doesn't include figure in payroll. Any ideas?

Your employees would need to qualify for the following conditions to calculate the Statutory Maternity Pay, accounts68.

 

  • Have worked for you continuously for at least 26 weeks, up to the “qualifying week”. The “qualifying week” is the 15th week before the expected due date.
  • Earn at least £118 per week (gross) in the relevant 8-week period. (This is the amount for 2017-2018. Note that this amount changes each tax year.)
  • give you a correct notice and a proof of pregnancy
