Maternity top-up pay is at the employers discretion, statutory maternity benefit is not. It is calculated by dividing a woman's gross income in the relevant tax year by the number of weeks they actually worked in that year.A lot of people don't realise that maternity pay or sick pay are at the employer's discretion.
Minimum maternity benefit is €207 and maximum is €285 - but these don't cost the employer a penny.

The short answer is no. Sick pay is sick pay and not holiday pay.Sorry to butt in on this, but if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
If an employee on 6 months probation has been sick numerous times and paid for it without question and then the employee leaves within the 6 months probation.
Can the employer take the days they were paid for being out sick out of their holiday entitlements?
Thanks

Hey Apple, yes it's legal.Hi, just signed a Permanent Full Time Contract with an indigenous SME. I've learned since however, that the company does not pay any sick pay, even for salaried staff. If you miss a day through illness, you're docked a day's pay or have to take it from your holiday entitlement. Is this legal? I thought it may have been mandatory for a company to make some contribution? Appreciate any insight or advice.
In general an employee has no right under employment law in Ireland to be paid while on sick leave. Consequently, it is at the discretion of the employer to decide his/her own policy on sick pay and sick leave, subject to the employee’s contract or terms of employment. Under [broken link removed] of the [broken link removed] and 2001 an employer must provide an employee with a written statement of terms of employment within two months of the commencement of the employment. One of the terms referred to in this Act on which the employer must provide information is the terms or conditions relating to incapacity for work due to sickness or injury.
