I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant with DC2 and working part-time, about 14 hours a week. I don't qualify for SMP because I was technically pregnant when I started work (I actually wasn't, but scuppered by the counting from LMP thing!). I don't earn much, less than £100/week but am just realising quite how badly it's going to hit us not having my income as well, though I'm not planning on going on ML for long.
I've just been looking at the requirements for maternity allowance and think I qualify, except they want to see my pay slips and I don't have any. I earn below the HMRC threshold for needing to be registered as an employee/PAYE so have usually just been paid in cash, though have recently started having money transferred directly to my account, for which I have to provide a list of hours worked so I can be reimbursed for them.
Does anyone know whether a payslip has to be an official thing or whether I can just submit a list of hours worked since November?
I have declared my hours to the tax credit people and am well below the personal tax threshold so hopefully I haven't done anything wrong.
