Kit days in work pay

Just seeing if anyone can help me before I kick off on work šŸ˜„. I’m on maternity but have done a few kit days, got my wage slip and iv had a minus on the amount I’m actually earning, it’s like I’m only getting paid a just over half of what iv earned, it’s named on my slip as ā€˜kit hours offset’. iv never heard of it, so googled it, says my employer should’ve agreed to the amount I would be earning before I started my kit days, I just assumed it would be extra money and wouldn’t go against my maternity pay as noone had told me any different, so basically I’m working for half the amount of what my wages per hour should be by the looks of it, iv already done 4 that’s will show on next wage slip, has anyone else had this problem? And can I claim back what I’m owed, as I only done them for the extra money in the first place.

If you can share your payslip I can look at it properly.

Do they not just top up your SMP to your full wage on that day rather than give SMP plus a full days wage? I wouldn't have thought you'd get maternity pay plus a full wage for your KIT day

That’s right.

Didn't realise as last mat leave I did the kit days at the end of smp, but what happens is you don't get paid SMP & your wages. I believe the SMP is deducted from what you earn that shift. I got paid a lot less than expected & also wasn't eligible for any bank holiday premiums. If I'd known I would have done it the old way again. I wanted to bump up my leave to take a bit longer. Too late now. Is on the gov website and included in my company maternity policies.

Yea, it’s on me for not checking eveything, but also on the company for not even mentioning it when I sorted shifts out, iv got more planned but im just gonna say no now
