SMP & Pension Contributions

[JetLi]

Hi
My company maternity pay has now stopped and I'm solely on SMP now. The pay slip that arrived yesterday shows zero pension contribution from the employer for the last month. If I understand the government guidlelines correctly I thought the company should continue to make their usual pension contributions whilst ever I am receiving SMP. Am I missing something? Should their percentage contribution be based on my SMP payment or on what my salary would have been would I have been working as normal?
Thanks in advance....

The way it works for me is that when I go back to work the Pension contributions both form me and my emploter ( NHS) will double for 3 months to make up for the lack of contribution for 3 months.

Thanks wobblypig .
I can't quite make out what the official line is from the DWP though....

I am sure that pension has to be paid as before. The only time it stops is when you are on unpaid leave the last weeks of the 12 months.
