Chapter 9
Pension contributions
[ch 9: page 294]Any employer occupational pension contributions must continue during maternity, paternity, adoption or SPL throughout the paid leave period (whether pay is statutory or contractual). Pension contributions usually stop during periods of unpaid leave. The whole of the leave period (paid and unpaid) must be taken into account when assessing length of service for occupational pension purposes (Boyle v EOC [1998] IRLR 717).
