Bulk Sickness Process

Enables you to process the sickness records and generate payments in bulk for any sickness periods. The payment period is determined by the Default Tax Period field in Maintain Current Period Detail.

Note: This functionality can be added to the scheduler via the HR52U41S task. You can configure the scheduler with the same settings that can be specified in this screen apart from the Test Run setting, which defaults to N.

Note: If you are using multi-post sickness, you can process unpaid absences via this screen, however the sickness-related fields are disabled.

General

To Date

Enter a date, any absences prior to, and including this date are processed in full. Leave blank to process all records.

Process Type

Enter P to process new entries for payment, or enter R to record details only. If R is entered, there are no payments generated.

Test Run

Enter Y to process all entries and produce all reports but save no data. If blank, the system processes all entries and saves data.

Assume SSP Pay

Enter Y to assume Average Pay equals the standard SSP band, which allows the bulk sickness update to be run even if there is no payslip history.

Process Long-Term

Enter Y to include long-term sickness when bulk processing sickness records. If blank, the system ignores all long-term sickness entries.

Process Unpaid Absences

Enter Y to include unpaid absences when bulk processing sickness records. All unpaid absences with an absence type matching the absence type selected in Static Level Absence Fields are processed.

Click Commit to process the selected employees. When processing is complete, a message is displayed showing the number of records processed successfully, generating errors and generating warnings. You can view reports on the bulk sickness process runs via Bulk Sickness Process Report.

Note: Records generating a warning message are still processed for payment as the message is for information only, whereas records generating an error message signify there was a problem with the record, and are not processed for payment.
