by Intuit•2• Updated 1 week ago
If your employee is eligible for Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), you must fulfil your legal obligation as an employer to pay them during their maternity leave.
Note: For information on SMP in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll, see this article.
- Go to Payroll, then Employees.
- Select your employee.
- Select Start or Edit to open the Pay Types section.
- Select Add statutory leave.
- Choose Statutory maternity pay.
- Select the start and end dates of the leave.
- Enter the average weekly earnings.
Note: QuickBooks automatically calculates this unless you are switching from another payroll system or have not run payroll in QuickBooks for at least 23 weeks before the baby's due date. - Enter the expected due date and birth date of the baby (you can make changes in the ‘Leave periods’ section).
- Save your changes.
