​Note: If the statutory maternity schedule start date begins before the current period, there's an option to add payments already made. You can add amounts as a total amount or as amounts paid per period. You also need to add any payments made to date in the current tax year to the team member’s year to dates.

If applicable, select the I've applied for advance funding for maternity payments check box then add the funding amount.
If the SMP schedule spans two tax years, you need to enter the funding amounts for each tax year separately.

Select the relevant pro-ration method for the schedule.

Click Next then enter the gross pay amounts for the relevant periods.

​Tip: If you processed the periods in Paycircle, the amounts populate automatically.

Select whether to calculate the schedule on a period or weekly basis.
The period basis uses the company’s pay period settings, while using a weekly basis calculates the schedule in weeks, starting from the first day of the SMP period.

Click Save & finish.
