I am lucky enough to be on paid leave whilst on my maternity leave.
The maternity benefit of 280 euro is being paid directly to my employer's account.
For illustration purposes, if my weekly gross pay was 1280 then does anyone know this would usually be handled.
Should my gross pay now be 1000 from the employer and tax applied as normal with the 280 added as a non taxable amount.
My employer has looked at my usual net pay and to get to the same point he only has to give a much lower amount in gross pay to reach the same figure.
The pension contributions have reduced by more than 50% by both the employer and myself as a result.
Just wondering if anyone has been down this road recently and if so how was their situation handled?
