# How does the payment schedule appear on the employee's payslip?

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
- Creating a **Maternity Payment Schedule**

> [!WARNING]
> **Important:** Before you begin to set up a Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) claim, you must create a Maternity Leave calendar event. The Calendar of Events is the core control record for each employee which will hold all periods of absence.

Once a **Maternity Payment Schedule** is set up for an employee, it reflects the amounts of money to be paid under the headings of **Statutory Pay** and **Occupational Pay**. In addition to paying these amounts, other standing payments must be zeroised for the time period being covered by this pay.

The pay elements to be zeroised are determined by the pay elements that went to make up the full pay figure held in the schedule ie the set of pay elements in the full pay definition for the scheme.
