- For each earning that applies to the pay shown in the Maternity Schedule report, access theEdit Earningtask.
- In theGroupsfield on theNon-Effective Datedtab, select the GBR Maternity Schedule [GBR] pay component group.
- Run theView UK Maternity Schedule Data for Workerreport.The worker must have at least 8 weeks pay history.
- Create a report for the worker using theWorkday Example Maternity Schedule Report Template.xlsxfile, which is available on Workday Community.
- Why do weekly earnings differ between the Weekly Pay for OMP and Average Weekly Earnings fields?
- Payroll for the UK uses earnings that are subject to National Insurance to calculate statutory maternity pay (SMP). When you set up occupational maternity pay (OMP), you can select any earnings used in the calculation of weekly earnings.Although SMP and OMP use the same calculation for a worker's weekly earnings, they use different pay component groups (PCGs):
- GBR NIable Pay [GBR]
- GBR Maternity Schedule [GBR]
If theAdds to Groupearnings differ between the 2 PCGs, you’ll see a difference between a worker'sWeekly Pay for OMPand theirAverage Weekly Earnings(SMP).
