If you're classed as a small employer, you can reclaim 100% plus 3% in small employers' relief. Otherwise, you can reclaim 92%. Find out if you're eligible before in our what is Small Employers Relief guide.

 NOTE: By default, SER is not enabled and your software calculates statutory parental payment recovery at 92%. To calculate at 103%, you must enable SER using the steps below.

Important information

Changes you make to the Eligible for Small Employers' Relief check box don't recalculate any payments you've already processed.

If you're eligible for SER and processed any statutory parental payments without SER enabled, SER doesn't calculate for these. You must roll back those pay periods, check SER is enabled and reprocess them correct a previous payroll run >
