I was on Mat Leave from June 13th 2007 to Jan 7th 2008. Most of this (18 weeks, which took me to Oct 16th) was at full pay, then for the remainder I was on SMP.
In April 2005 my employer merged into a larger organisation. Since then we have undergone a huge process of review, which includes a pay adjustment (upwards) if we accept the terms and conditions of the larger organisation. This pay award is being backdated to April 2005. I have accepted the new terms and conditions, and the increased salary and in in June pay I received some arrears, to cover the period Feb 2007 - May 2008, with April 2005 - Jan 2007 to be paid in a couple of months.
The ammount I have received so far in arrears was not as high as I had expected, so I have asked for a breakdown of how they calculated it, and it seems that no arrears have been applied while I was on Mat Leave. I understand for the period I was on SMP, but surely while I was on full pay, I should have arrears due to me? If the pay award had come through before I went on ML then My mat pay would have been higher after all.
PLease someone before I stress myself out arguing with our payroll providers, can anyone tell me what should have happened?
