HBP Systems
are currently supporting a new book by author Alison Clarke. HBP
believe this book, which is aimed primarily at small employers,
will be an invaluable resource due to its detail and excellent use
of plain english.
The book is divided into two main sections. The first
looks purely at the employee’s rights to maternity leave and
the second looks at the complexities of statutory maternity pay
and how you should administer it. |

In addition, it tells
you about her rights at the ante-natal stage and the employer’s
responsibilities in terms of health and safety requirements. There
is also a step-by-step guide to take employers through the stages
of a straightforward pregnancy.
This book tells you:
· what information you need from your employee and when you
need it
· how to work out when she should return to work
· the difference between ordinary and additional maternity
leave
· how to work out if she has earns enough for statutory maternity
pay
· how to recover statutory maternity pay
It also tells you what to do if:
· the baby is born prematurely
· you employ casual or temporary staff
· the woman falls ill before or during maternity leave
· you have to make the woman redundant
· you make a mistake
The Institute of Payroll and Pensions Management
said: “Alison Clarke's book provides a comprehensive yet easy
to digest guide to SMP and leave. We would recommend all employers
have a copy to hand"
