Please could someone explain to me I work part time £98 pw My pay will rise to £105 pw in the new tax year I have a child due 2 / 07/ 2011 Have worked for my employer since June 2010 To qualify for paternity pay 2010-2011 you should have average earnigs of £97 pw 2011-2012 you should have average earnings of £102 pw I thought I would qualify but having downloaded Basic Paye Tools it is calculating my average pay for 8 weeks from January to March when I earnt £98 pw and saying I havn't earned enough to qualify. regards Aaron
hi, you must have worked for your employer for 26 wks by the 15th wk before the due date - this 15 week before baby due is also the latest you should let them know u r planning on taking paternity leave. you said u work there longer but did u put it in the paye calculator or did u put this january as starting date?
The dates are fine as I started before 25th September 2010
I just copied this from a help manual from hmrc
Does your employee earn enough? If the amount at 6: is at least £97.00 gross a week for babies due between 18 July 2010 and 16 July 2011, or is at least £102.00 gross a week for babies due between 17 July 2011 and 14 July 2012
I don't understand the July to July part, why not April to April ? And since my child is due 2 July 2011 I should fall in the £97 bracket
I know its not a great deal of money but it bothers me I can't figure it out
