SMP Company Director

Can SMP be claimed by sole company director.

Didn't find your answer?

There is payroll set up and the director is eligible for SMP claim - she is on £719 per month. However as she is the sole director with no employees she will not be able to take maternity leave due to the running of the company. Does she still qualify to claim SMP ?

Can work KIT days. Anything beyond that and SMP would stop.

SMP is about paying somebody for not working.

If she continues to work, she gets no SMP.

Her options are to suspend operations for 39 weeks (less KIT days) or bring on a sub to cover maternity.
