Czy mogłabyś nam napisać czy pobierałaś podstawowy zasiłek
macierzyński (Statutory Maternity Pay) czy może Twoja firma
oferowała dodatkowy „pakiet” jak contractual maternity pay, such as
full pay, any additional maternity pay over and above the Statutory
Maternity Pay? Z tego co wiem nie musisz zwracać Statutory Maternity
Pay, ale jeśli Twoja firma oferuje Ci dodatkowe pieniążki zgodnie ze
swoją polityką wówczas musisz zwrócić im tą różnicę. Poniżej 2
przykłady:
1. Do I have to repay my maternity pay if I decide not to return to
work?
No, all of the Statutory Maternity Pay is yours to keep, whether you
go back or not. This is paid for 6 weeks at 90% of your salary and
20 weeks at Ł102.80 per week until April 2005, rising to Ł106 per
week from April 2005. Your employer gets most of it back from the
government anyway. If your employer pays contractual maternity pay,
such as full pay, any additional maternity pay over and above the
Statutory Maternity Pay would only have to be repaid if that was
agreed in advance or was stated in your contract. You NEVER have to
repay the Statutory Maternity Pay.

2. Do I have to repay my maternity pay if I don't go back to work?
Some employers offer contractual maternity pay that can be better
than Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) and is something that trade
unions can negotiate with employers. If you receive contractual
maternity pay and you decide not to return to that job, you only
have to repay it if it was agreed in advance or specifically stated
in your maternity policy or your contract. In these cases, you only
have to pay back the extra contractual pay, not the SMP part of your
maternity pay.
Some employers offer enhanced packages to women, for example a lump
sum of money once they return to work after maternity leave for a
period of time. This is obviously not something a new mother would
qualify for if she did not return to work after maternity leave.
This is not an ideal situation for mothers, as they often need the
money when they are on the leave, not once they have returned to
work, but it is legal.
