Message Text
Employee has received no SMP; 18 week disqualifying period for MA
Help Document
Diagnosis
If a female employee is receiving neither Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) nor Maternity Allowance (MA), she is disqualified from receiving Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for only 18 weeks on or after the start of her maternity absence, rather than 26 weeks if she had received SMP or MA payments.
The employee herself has to volunteer this information, because if she has been excluded from SMP, the employer is not notified if she is in receipt of MA. Where she is not, you can verify this by referring to the JobCentre Plus or Social Security office, and then apply the short disqualifying period.
The start of the 18 weeks short disqualifying period is defined in two ways:
- From the Sunday at the start of the week, on or after the start of the fourth week before the EWC, that she is absent from work wholly or mainly for a pregnancy-related reason
- From the Sunday at the start of the week in which the baby is born.
