XPO offers more pay for mums- and dads-to-be

[ April 3, 2024   //   ]

XPO has enhanced its maternity benefits for soon-to-be and new parents. Currently, in the UK, XPO employees – or those adopting children – are entitled to Enhanced Maternity Pay after one year of service. Now, after two years of service, employees are entitled to having the first six weeks of maternity leave paid at 90% of weekly average earnings and the following 20 weeks at 80% of their basic pay + allowances (including statutory maternity pay).

The remaining 13 weeks will be paid at the government statutory rate, or 90% of their average weekly earnings, whichever is lower.

This means that employees receive a higher amount than the Government’s Statutory Maternity Pay for a significantly extended period.
