How do the current statutory maternity provisions vary from what is set out in the Burgundy Book (2000 edition)?
Please see the attached Education Employers’ Bulletin 503 for arrangements brought about by the Work and Families Act 2006 including statutory changes to maternity pay, maternity allowance, adoption pay and the introduction of “keeping in touch” days EEB 503 (, 89KB). Please note that from 4 April 2010 statutory maternity pay (SMP) was increased to £124.88.
