The default patterns for the employee are displayed in the upper section of the window, and initially in the lower section. The lower section is a paging area where you can override the default patterns which enables you to stop payment of UK SSP and OSP on particular days if required.

Note: The entitlement and OSP patterns displayed in this window are determined by OSP Parameters. The patterns shown in the lower section might not reflect the defaults shown in the upper section. This is because patterns other than the defaults, for example, the work pattern, may have been selected.

To access this window, enter fast path HREMPALL, select Absence Details from the navigation panel, window in to the Detail field and select Hours Lost from the navigation panel.

General

SSP Qualifying Days

Display only. The pattern previously set up as part of the SSP parameters. UK SSP is not paid on any days flagged with N.

Note: The SSP Qualifying Days may be derived from the employee's OSP work pattern, depending on the entry in the Use OSP WP for SSP QD field in Maintain Pay Calculation Detail.

OSP Entitlement Days

Display only. The entitlement pattern previously set up as part of the OSP parameters. OSP entitlement is not reduced on any days flagged with N.

OSP Qualifying Days

Display only. The OSP qualifying pattern previously set up as part of the OSP parameters. OSP is not paid on any days flagged with N.

OSP Working Hours

Default working hours are shown if the employee’s pay is calculated on a rate rather than an amount basis. The system copies the default working hours from the work pattern. When the pay calculation basis is ‘rate’, the system multiplies the calculated rate of pay for the employee by the OSP Working Hours value to derive each day’s OSP amount.

The pay calculation basis, either rate (hourly) or amount, and the rate of pay, is set via Rate Calculation Parameters. You link rate calculation parameters for OSP to employees’ service conditions using Service Conditions OSP Rate Calculation . If the pay calculation basis is ‘amount’, the calculated daily rate of pay for the employee is applied to each day of sickness.

Work Pattern Override

In this section of the screen you can override the default entitlement pattern and hours providing an end date for the sickness absence has been entered, i.e. it's not a long-term absence.
