Ignore - incorrect info.£1 / 50p 2011 holiday flight + hotel expenses = £98.50/£600
HSBC 8% 12mth regular savings = £80 out of a maximum remaining allowance of £2500
"3 months' salary" reserve = £00 / £3600 :eek:0 -
£123.06 or 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings if this is less.

maximum is £123.06p per week regardless of what the 90% works out too. It's all on direct gov web site http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/BenefitsTaxCreditsAndOtherSupport/Expectingorbringingupchildren/DG_10018750

Oh dear :-S
I've often heard new dads claim that paternity pay "isn't worth it". Now I know why - had no idea it was capped at £123.£1 / 50p 2011 holiday flight + hotel expenses = £98.50/£600

That's all you get for maternity after the first 6 weeks isn't it??
Most guys I know just save up their holiday when they know their OH is expecting.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Yes that's the maternity rate also.0

Not sure how much it is but you normally get 2 weeks off and only after the due date or when the baby is born ,not before, hope this helps
