Follow this guide if you are migrating SMP mid-scheme.
Overview #
Because paiyroll® will not be handling the maternity workflow, you will need to enter any remaining SMP payment values on each pay run.
The first step is to locate the payment schedule set up for the SMP. This will show the pay for each pay period, usually available from the original payroll software. If the source of the schedule was the government calculator, then you will need that. You’ll be entering one of the future values each time. Here is an example:
Date | SMP amount |
---|---|
28 February 2025 | £1661.54 |
28 March 2025 | £1198.83 |
28 April 2025 | £814.99 |
28 May 2025 | £788.70 |
28 June 2025 | £814.99 |
28 July 2025 | £788.70 |
28 August 2025 | £814.99 |
28 September 2025 | £814.99 |
28 October 2025 | £788.70 |
28 November 2025 | £245.00 |
In the Pay Item Editor, for each pay run, you Select the Override input and enter the Override value from the schedule. Then Click Update to check the mini-payslip

Continue each Pay run until the schedule is exhausted.
