CONTRACTUAL BENEFITS DURING MATERNITY LEAVE

During ordinary maternity leave and additional maternity leave, all terms
and conditions of your employment contract except normal pay will continue.
Salary will be replaced by SMP if you are eligible.

This means that while salary payments will cease, all other benefits will remain
in place. For example holiday entitlement will continue to accrue during both the
26 weeks' ordinary maternity leave period and 26 weeks' additional maternity
leave period.

Pension contributions will continue to be made during any period when you
are receiving SMP but not during any period of unpaid maternity leave.
Employee contributions during any paid period of maternity leave will be based
on actual pay while the company’s contributions will continue to be based on your
full salary.
