Does anyone know how you get SMP? Do you just get paid the normal way from your employer or do you have to do something to claim it?
OK perfect. That's all I was worried about. Thank you @emmy_lou xx
It goes straight into your account like your wages normally would and on your payslip it will have the amount of maternity pay you got that month too @quelle-y-chiffre xx

You get 90% of your weekly wage for the first 6 weeks I think it is and then you get £139 a week or 90% of your weekly wage depending on which is lower! x
Oh yeah bit confusing try to call your hr
I do but only for a few weeks. I think my next pay will include SMP so just checking I get it in the normal way. Thank you @leanne2016 x

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
