Question

Is SMP always calculated on a 7 day week even if the employee works a 5 day week. E.g. Average weekly earning/7=Daily SMP allowance?

So for example if the average weekly earning was £900 would the calculation be £900/7= £128.57 / day OR if the employee works a 5 day week would it be £900/5 =£180/day?

Hi Virgo1, SMP is calculated on full weeks - if an employee starts their maternity leave in the middle of the week, the first few days of that week are pushed to the next week period. 🙂
