maternity pay

Post subject: I am definitely not an expert on maternity pay and how it works but what I do know is that statutory by definition is 'required by law (statute)', therefore your employer is required by law to pay the statutory maternity pay to all mothers who go on maternity leave the amount that is set by the government.
Providing you have worked at your current job long enough your employer can't pay any less than what the statutory amount is. The statutory is the lowest that they can offer. Actually they can't offer it as it is your entitlement. Hope that helps. xTx _________________  Posted: Sat Jun 14, 2008 2:04 pm
