SMP

Hello, this may be a silly question however I really do not know the answer. If I change to part time at work for the last three weeks before maternity leave will this affect SMP? I'll be 34 weeks Sunday. Thanks in advance 💫

Sorry ignore my previous message, looks like it's usually based on the last 2 months pay prior to your qualifying week (25 weeks) so you should be fine! X

From my understanding… I don’t think if affects your SMP as it is based on the 2 months prior to your qualifying week(25th) But If you’re planning to return to work after having the baby it could affect your accrued holidays, if you change to part time and it stays like that until you return you would only be getting what is given to people on part time hours which could be half 🤷‍♀️ I could be wrong

@Liv thank you!! I think it may have recently changed as your first message is what I thought, but I've been told by others that it's the 25 week mark! Thanks for your help x

@Alice thank you!
