Any primary teachers help me with mat pay?
Hi girls. Just wondering if anyone can help me work out what maternity pay I am entitled to? I'm currently in my 4th year and work for the LEA. I will start my maternity leave when we finish for Easter on 7th April but will only be putting 19th April as my first day on mat form. I will be off for 2 terms and go back on the 6th Jan 2010. In total it will be approx 38 weeks,
I know I get the first 4 weeks full pay then some weeks 90%, the 50% etc but then what am I entitled to SMP?
Any help will be much appreciated!

Ordinary maternity leave of up to 26 weeks which will be paid leave as follows:
??????? first 4 weeks of absence: full pay inclusive of Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP);
??????? next 2 weeks: 90 per cent of a week's salary inclusive of SMP;
??????? next 12 weeks: half pay plus ??117.18 SMP (not exceeding full pay);
??????? next 8 weeks: ??117.18 SMP.
two weeks' 90% pay;
12 weeks' half pay plus SMP;
21 weeks' SMP;
13 weeks' unpaid leave.
BUT- do check with your LEA because some actually do a slightly better deal (they are not allowed to give you any less than that). My LEA gave me 20 weeks of 45% pay instead of the 12 weeks of half pay.
4 weeks full pay
2 weeks 90% pay
12 weeks half pay plus SMP
then SMP.
On my form I had the choice of getting the pay paid like Poz, but I chose to leave it as the above.

I work for manchester LA and get one deal, while someone I know works across the border in Tameside and they get a MUCH better deal!!
When I sent my MATB1 form in the LA sent me the info on brakdown of money.
