Maternity Payments - spread over 12 months

[QuinnofHearts]

Hi all! Wondered if anyone could help me.

I've asked for my maternity payments to be evenly spread out over the 46 weeks. With my son, I remember my first and last payment were lower. However I can't remember how much by or how to calculate this. I'm a nurse, I earn £32k as a top band 5. My monthly wage varies.

Could anyone help me with this? Payroll are unable to give me a forecast.

Hi
I work for the nhs as a band 4 and am 30 weeks and have recently sorted my mat pay I've taken the normal amount of maternity time and have spread the payments and it's the first 2 months payments that are lower for me. How far along are you? I waited until 24 weeks so I could get a forecast as they work it out from weeks 15 to 25 I think and payroll had no issues giving me a forecast for multiple options

Just to add I don't know how they work out the percentage

Thanks for replying! My payroll say they can't give me a forecast. So annoying! I'm band 5, full time.

That's so strange I wonder why? How far are you have you worked your weeks that it's worked out on? I know that your overtime during them weeks is also included in working out the average

I'd be happy to private message the estimates they have sent me they don't contain any of my private details but I'm a band 4 in 30 hours so not sure if they would be much help to you

See the overtime is what worries me a bit, purely as I had a HUGE payment at 25 weeks as it was backdated pay! Bless you, would you mind doing that? I'd be so grateful z

I can't figure out how to private message you sorry

I work for the nhs and our payroll gave me a complete breakdown of what I will be getting on maternity leave each month.. occupational pay and statuary x

Unfortunately mine won't do that.
