Hello all,
I have been told by my employer (high street retailer [where i have worked permanently for 6 years in a Managerial role) that their policy is to offer zero contribution to my maternity leave. I understand that I qualify for 52 weeks' maternity leave, and for the first 39 weeks I am entitled to Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) for the remaining 13 weeks no pay.
My proposal to the employer: After the first 6 weeks of my SMP, during week 7 until week 33, I would like for XX to consider a further contribution towards my SMP, week 7 – 18, which is full pay (12 weeks) and from week 19 – 33, 50% pay (15 weeks).
I am now reaching out to you ask whether you have experienced a similar issue with your employer? if so, please could you advise what possible solutions are available to appeal their decision of Zero Maternity Contribution.
Thank you for your help.
