I'm currently ttc, and wondering about my maternity package as my benefits package is a bit more complex than usual. Mainly, in addition to my salary, I am paid a housing allowance of 5k a year (because the organisation should have provided me with a house in my particular job, which I know is unusual, but they didn't have a suitable one and I negotiated this instead). My reading of the law is that this should continue over and above my maternity pay - if it was a house it obviously would - but just wanted to check!
Also, I use the workplace nursery and pay the full amount by salary sacrifice. Is this a contractual benefit so I would continue to get the nursery fees paid, and then have my maternity pay calculated on the remaining salary; or would this count as salary? Or would I have to stop doing the salary sacrifice to get my salary higher for mat.pay calculations? Ideally I'd continue using the nursery during my maternity leave.
It would be great if anyone knows the answers to these questions!
