According to an email just sent from our childcare voucher provider:
"A recent Employment Appeal Tribunal decision has ruled that employers are no longer required to provide Childcare Vouchers during a period of maternity leave when only Statutory Maternity Pay is paid.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal has released the following statement: “It had not been the intention of parliament to require employers to continue providing vouchers at a time when there was no salary which could be sacrificed in respect of them.”
Not good news for me as I am 10 weeks pregnant and only get SMP, was really going to come in handy that my employers would continue to pay childcare vouchers. Big sighs!
