HR experts - question about extended mat leave, childcare vouchers and KIT days

[writeaboutlove]

Can anyone help? I am now in the final weeks of my maternity leave and no longer receiving SMP, but I am still getting my childcare vouchers. At the moment there is no salary to sacrifice these from, but if I did some KIT days (which I do get paid for), would the childcare vouchers then be deducted from that pay? I'm not sure whether there's a minimum you have to earn before the vouchers are deducted, or whether they will take any salary you have. Basically wondering whether it's worth me doing a few days work before I start back officially, or would I end up not actually earning anything?
Thanks!

Hi,

I'm not an HR expert, but you sound to be in a similar place to me.
From numerous conversations with HR before I went on ML (they were changing loads of policies, but wouldn't show me the drafts of the ones which were going to replace them ....), they will take any salary for the vouchers, so yes, if you do some KIT days, they will deduct the vouchers from what they pay you.

Yes they could deduct vouchers from KIT pay.

Thanks both for your help. I spoke to HR in the end and you're right, as soon as you earn anything, including KIT days, the vouchers are deducted from that.
