Enables you to record information about an employee that is used by the system when determining whether UK SSP can be paid for a period of sickness.

The information held in this screen is specific to individual employees: the general rules governing UK SSP are maintained using SSP Parameter Maintenance.

To access this window, enter fast path HR82S4 and select SSP Details from the navigation panel.

Date

SSP1L Start, End Date, PIW Weeks

Display only. These fields are only populated if data was entered from the SSP1L form prior to the 28th October 2008. The start and end dates of the employee's last absence period before leaving their previous employer and the number of weeks absent.

Pattern

SSP Qualifying Days, SMTWTFS

Each letter represents a day of the week starting from Sunday through to Saturday. The defaulted values come from the Payroll Control Group to which this employee is attached, and can be overridden as necessary.

Under each day, enter Y if an employee is entitled to UK Statutory Sick Pay if they are sick on this day of the week, or enter N if they are not.

The details entered in this field are used as the default UK SSP qualifying days in SSP/OSP Qualifying Days when entering a sickness, and are used in the UK SSP calculation for the PIW.

Additional

Exclusion Code

Display only. The exclusion reason from the last processed absence.

Exclusion Notified

Enter Y if HMRC have been notified of the employee's exclusion from UK SSP. The employer should produce form SSP1 for the employee, who should then pass it to HMRC.

Note: The user must clear this flag once HMRC has been notified and the code is no longer applicable, to ensure future generated SSP Exclusion Code will be included in the SSP Payrun Amounts Paid report.

SSP1L Issued

Display only. Indicates if the SSP1L form was issued when the employee left.

Transfer Notified

Display only. Indicates if HMRC was notified prior to the responsibility for the employee’s benefits being transferred from their organisation to the state benefits scheme (e.g. Sickness Benefit).

Default SSP Average Pay

Enter the default SSP Average Pay value to use if a pay history does not exist for the selected employee.
