Work out an employee's statutory maternity pay

Key points

  • Statutory maternity pay is payable for up to 39 weeks.
  • The first six weeks of statutory maternity pay are payable at 90% of the employee's average earnings. The remaining 33 weeks are paid at the flat rate in force at the time, or at 90% of the employee's average earnings where this figure is less than the flat rate.
