Handle Paternity Leave Without Payroll Errors

Paternity leave needs the right information at the right time.

Employees taking paternity leave have specific notice and eligibility requirements. Employers also need to process statutory paternity pay correctly and keep payroll records updated throughout the leave period.

Getting these details right helps prevent underpayments, overpayments, and unnecessary corrections after payroll has already been submitted.

Our support can help with:

Paternity leave calculations
Statutory paternity pay
Employee eligibility checks
Payroll updates
RTI reporting

Leave arrangements should not become payroll problems.

We Handle the Process; You Focus on Family

There is more to managing statutory maternity pay, statutory paternity pay, and paternity leave than just handling payroll. Every step of the process calls for accuracy, adherence to HMRC regulations, and cautious timing.

We take full responsibility for the process, including:

Statutory maternity pay calculations
Statutory paternity pay calculations
Maternity and paternity leave support
Payroll adjustments and updates
RTI submissions

Peace of mind during maternity and paternity leave starts with the right payroll support.

Frequently Asked Question

How much is statutory maternity pay?
Statutory maternity pay is normally paid for up to 39 weeks. The employee receives 90% of their average weekly earnings for the first six weeks, followed by the statutory weekly rate or 90% of earnings, whichever is lower, for the remaining period.
Who qualifies for statutory maternity pay?
An employee generally needs to meet specific employment, earnings, and notice requirements to qualify for statutory maternity pay. If they don't qualify, they may be able to claim maternity allowance instead, depending on their circumstances.
Can an employee get maternity allowance instead of statutory maternity pay?
Yes. An employee who doesn't qualify for statutory maternity pay may be eligible for maternity allowance. This can apply in situations such as having recently changed employment or not meeting the earnings requirement for statutory maternity pay.
Can an employee change their paternity leave dates?
In some circumstances, an employee can change their planned paternity leave dates, but they must follow the required notice rules. Employers should keep the revised dates on record and update payroll where the change affects statutory paternity pay.
Does statutory maternity pay need to be included in payroll?
Yes. Where an employee qualifies, statutory maternity pay should normally be processed through the employee's payroll and reported to HMRC through real-time information. Accurate payroll records are important throughout the maternity leave period.
