Calling Payroll Experts - The new legislation that requires ers to pay CCV's

[RuthT]

do employers have to start paying in Oct for people currently on mat leave or just those going on mat from Oct?

If the baby is due before 5 October 2008, then employers only need to pay for the first 26 weeks of their mat leave - but yes, this would include anyone who is on maternity leave.

If baby is due after 5 October 2008, then employers have to pay for the full 52 weeks (assuming there is no Occupational Pay for the vouchers to be deducted from).

Darn baby born in March so not sure I will get it then
