Previous service with a local authority school within the authority will count towards continuous service for SMP entitlements where the LEA has been the employer throughout. Previous continuous service with a local authority school at a different local authority will count for the purposes of Occupational Maternity Pay. Appendix 1 to Employers’ Education Bulletin 503 (Word doc, 30KB) outlines continuous service requirements for maternity purposes.
