My wife is on mat leave at the moment from a Multinational and they pay her less the maternity benefit. She ends up with more net pay as the Mat benefit is not taxable.
Here we go......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzMy first post in Letting off Steam...
My nurse friend told me last night that not only does she get full pay whilst on maternity leave (some companies do, some don't, that is fine) but she also gets her full maternity benefit.
She couldn't believe it herself; that she actually gets paid more whilst on maternity leave than if she was working.
In the private sector I know that the normal practice in those companies that pay their employees a salary, the employee signs over the maternity benefit to the employer!
How unfair is this!!

My understanding is that a person that is on full pay during maternity leave has their salary made up by the maternity benefit and the remainder made up by the employer.
However, as maternity benefit is a social welfare benefit and is exempt from tax and prisi, their nett pay is actually more than it would be normally.
I have only heard about this for the first time recently but thats my understanding.
??? Explain? I searched for this discussion before I posted it and couldn't find anything.
Permanent/temporary nurse/midwives employed in the public service receive their full pay minus any social welfare entitlements (where applicable).

If your friend is getting both, then this is an error and she will be required to pay it back when it is discovered!!
OP is your original post correct? Are you saying that she gets her full pay PLUS her full maternity benefit? I am in the public sector and that is certainly not the norm. The norm is as Shawady has set out...that you get the maternity benefit and the remainder is made up by your employer
Do you know many teachers who go on leave every January? I thought that those large families are a thing of the past?Could this be one of the reasons some teachers go on Maternity Leave every January?
