Good morning all,
I’m hoping I can have some help
I have been off sick (pregnancy related illness so not counted the same as normal sick), for about 5 months.
My employer (was) still paying my SSP (sick pay), each month into my bank account as usual, same time as I would usually get paid my salary.
Over two weeks ago, I handed in my MATB1 form. My maternity leave started on the 17th October.
I was advised by the gentleman that I handed it to (in person), that HR Payroll would send it straight back as i would have to claim my SMP through the job centre because I hadn’t be working there long enough to receive their maternity package.
All fine there, no issues.
I assumed I hadn’t received the form back yet because this month I thought was my last sick pay payment, if you see what I mean? We get paid in arrears etc.
However, checked my bank account and 0 has been put in by them.
No money.
I’ve called and can’t get through, it keeps saying to call back later.
Where do I stand here?
My living expenses are creeping up on me and I have a home to pay for that can’t physically be paid without this money.
What’s more, I’m due to go in Friday to have my DS! I don’t need the stress.
Can anyone advise?
I would have thought that if they didn’t send the form out and I was suppose to get my SMP via Job-centre this month, that they would be liable for not sending it on time?
Many thanks
