Calculating maternity pay
Hiya, does anyone know which weeks maternity pay is calculated from? Is it the 8 weeks prior to the 15 weeks before expected week of childbirth?? I’m due 27th July so I’ve worked out it’s the 11th Feb-7th April, does that seem right?
Thank you!xx

I think it's your last three payslips before taking your mat leave, so from about week 16 onwards I think? x
There is a maternity calculator on the NHS and works it out for you https://workforce.nhs.scot/calculators/maternity-leave-calculator/
Click on the above link , that's what I used to work mine out ☺️😊 xx
It's pay slips between weeks 17 and 25 (so normally 2 payslips). It's very depressing to calculate!
ahh thank you, so if I’m planning on doing overtime to bump my maternity pay I need to do it the month before the 17th week because we get paid for that the month after ??
@Katie as long as its paid between 17 and 25 weeks it will count. It only counts towards statutory maternity pay, not the OMP. I was very disappointed to learn that! 😂
I submitted my november time sheet for unsocial hours in Dec so its due to be paid in Jan on top of my Dec unsocial hours…does anyone know will this count towards my maternity pay? My maternity will be worked out based on jan/feb payslips ☺️
it should yes xx
