    Default Maternity Pay Eligbility Question

    My cousin was told by her employer that she wasn't elibilge for maternityicon pay because she earned less than £77/week average in the relevant 8-week calculation period. In scrutinising the employer's calculation it appears she actually earned more than they said as they forgot to account for some specific payments, but the average is just literally a few pence short of £77.
    Is it permitted to round up to the nearest pound to qualify for the £77 threshold, or is there any special request that can be made to account for such a hairline gap?

    Hi CC

    The lower earnings limit to qualify for SMP is £95 per week now (pre April 2009 £90 per week)

    DWP - Technical guidance - NI17A - Statutory maternity Pay (SMP) (a)

    Sorry, but I'm not sure where has the £77 figure has come from? Am I missing something here?

    Che

    Che many thanks for your note. This applies to 1993 when the £77 threshold was in place.

    Sorry, CC.

    But with the utmost respect if this applied to 1993, why ask the question now?

    Even contractually you would be statute barredicon from claiming.

    Che, apologies - I've been number crunching and must have been googlie-eyed for a moment. The issue relates to 2003 (not 1993) and it is not statute barredicon yet. There are specific reasons for her not having been able to claim before due in part to intimidating conduct of the employer and their exploitation of her (lack of) job prospects elsewhere.
