Just trying to establish what I am entitled to as there is lots of advice contrary to what my employer is saying out there!
I am entitled to SMP only, so employer has stated I will be forced to suspend my vouchers until I am earning a salary again. It was flagged up to me by an acquaintance that their employer goes by HMRC rules that if maternity pay does not cover non-cash benefits such as childcare vouchers, a car etc that the company must carry on paying the amount on your behalf.
My employer has answered my query by stating that the class the voucher as a remuneration and as such will not class it as a non-cash benefit and will force me to suspend my participation in the scheme.
Can they do this? Is the information I have read on HMRC and other childcare trust sites etc correct? I am not wanting something for nothing, but if I am entitled to the payment it would greatly help to have it IYSWIM...
Any advice and info appreciated! Thanks in advance!
