Hope this is the right place to ask this! Not sure I've got this right in my head.
I claim the full £243 for my daughter. I'm due in January with number 2 (so currently 14 weeks).
If I reduce my voucher amount to a nominal £1 (so don't cancel the scheme altogether) from now until 25 weeks, and then return it back to the full £243, will this have the effect I'm aiming for - ie. maximise mat pay but then still be paid the £243 once I go down to SMP?
I suspect my July pay will be taken into account when calculating maternity pay, and I've missed the cut off to reduce vouchers for this month, but was planning to do it for August and September, and then put it back up in October.
I was just about to do it, but then it occurred to me that my employer might only pay the voucher amount that I'd been paying during my qualifying weeks?! This is hurting my head...
