What payment can be made for a KIT day?
A KIT (Keeping In Touch) day is treated the same as any other working day in terms of payment so the employee would receive the same as they would for a working days prior to starting SMP. As SMP will also be paid for the day an adjustment is made to the regular wages to take account of it. The special thing about a KIT day, of which there are up to ten, is that working one of them does not affect the entitlement to SMP for the week; prior to their introduction if a day was worked the entitlement to SMP for the whole week was lost.
