How does salary sacrifice work with fluctuating earnings?

The amount of salary sacrificed is usually set as value against normal pay. It is possible that actual pay may fall significantly and as such the employer has no ability to collect the amount to be paid from an employees salary – in this instance the employer is still required to make a payment (Maternity etc).
