Hello,
We offer an enhanced Maternity Package, whereby we pay our employees more than the statutory maternity payments of 90% of their salary for 6 weeks and 33 weeks at £156.66.
I use QuickBooks online and the statutory payment is calculated and correct but does anyone know how I add the enhanced payment in for the employee as there does not seem to be an enhanced maternity pay category - do I just use one of the other payroll categories e.g. Adjustment or Allowance?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks Virgo1, you can follow the steps below to create the additional pay category to keep track of any enhanced maternity pay:
To add this when running the payroll, simply select Actions on the employee > Add earnings > Select the pay category on the drop-down of the new earnings line that appears.
I'm using the advanced version of payroll

Very useful explanation.
Can I confirm for Standard Payroll, to reflect full pay for the first month for the employee on maternity leave , I would let QB calculate the statutory maternity pay for that month and include the relevant amount to as 'additional earnings' to bring it up to the full month's salary?
