Hello

I employ carers to look after my disabled daughter 24/7

One if the staff works 37.5 hrs week.

she is currently on maternity leave and is struggling with the loss of income.

I want to pay her enhanced maternity pay she has worked for my daughter for 20 yrs.

we have a personal payment not a direct payment.

can i do this

thanks

    Hello @Ciann,

    By personal payment. do you mean the funding is from a personal health budget (where I believe the funding comes via the NHS rather than your local authority) or do you mean paid by you from your own funds?
