    Just sticking my oar in... Would you usually have been due a payrise in the time you've been on SMP?
    I do, but I'm afraid the answer could be that the payroll is being done by trained monkeys? The only other thing I can think of is that if you have been awarded a payrise in your absence they have to amend the amount you are paid at 90% of your average earnings to include the payrise. No idea if that is likely?

    Oooooo! Great minds!
    I thought the 90% thing was average earnings of weeks whatever to whatever while still pregnant?
    Never mind, not one to turn down a free £60!

    Payrise this yr from 1st Feb. Would that make a difference though if I'm only SMP?

    That'll be it :) Scroll down to the Payrise bit here (about three quarters of the way down)... Sorry, I've have too much wine to be able to work it out :o
  • Glam - can you remind me of the dates again? I don't think I can, as I'm going to a La Leche league conference about becoming a leader one weekend, and to London another. I've not got anything booked for April yet though, or tail end of March, so will make something soon.

    The only reason we pay £1 is for the oil: they give us a bottle to keep :) They're great classes, aren't they?

    Yeah thats it. Just done some basic maths:
    6 x 510 (90%) /100 x 1.9(rubbish rise this year!) = £58 in my pocket.:D
    Does that make sense?!
