on maternity leave, not paid for keeping in touch days.

Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to ask this.

I am currently on maternity leave, and have reached the SMP portion of my leave. I worked 4 "keeping in touch" days this month, which I should have been paid for and haven't.

Does anyone know what my rights are in this situation? Can they just say they'll give me it next month or can I insist on getting it this month?

I returned the appropriate form stating the dates I was working, I followed the form up with an email to personnel (I've generally found them to be useless in the past!) and my line manager contacted them as well.

Thanks in advance

You could ask for it if it's their error if you say you will have financial hardship if they don't..

Most organisations have a date by which claims have to be received ( often the 15th of the month)by payroll and if your claim isn't in by then you get paid the next month.
