We provide a wide range of legal services to individuals and businesses through our specialist teams of solicitors across our offices.
During periods of paid maternity leave, either ordinary or additional, an employer’s pension contribution should be calculated as if the woman is working normally and receiving the usual remuneration.
During unpaid maternity leave, i.e. the last 13 weeks of additional maternity leave, the employer would not be under any duty to continue contributions unless otherwise provided in the contract.
For help and advice, talk to a member of our team. They can advise on the best options in your matter.
