Within **Cintra iQ**, you can create a **Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)** claim for an employee who is going on maternity leave.

This includes

- Setting up **Maternity Pay** details

Before you begin to set up a **Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)** claim, you must create a **Maternity Leave** calendar event.
