This shows how
S.S.P. is dealt with
First PIW
Record keeping for SSP
You
enter SSP in the pay run.
You
are presented with 13 weekly rows showing the Sunday start date.
Just
enter 's' in the day boxes that the employee was sick.
You can click on
either 'O.K.' or 'Calc' to proceed. 'O.K' takes you back to the
Payroll & 'Calc' updates this form.
As
this is a new PIW (Period of Incapacity for Work) CalcPay checks that the
employee has previously earned enough.
If the
Average pay is over the 'Lower Earnings Limit' (£82.00 for
2005_06) then it will be accepted.
Please
note that there is NO requirement for them to have worked 8 weeks. If
he had only worked 1 week then enter the 'No of weeks' as 1. Indeed if
he is sick in the first week then enter the amount that he would have
earned.
As
we had pressed 'Calc', we are returned to the SSP record Sheet.
You
can now see that the 's' has changed to:
'n' for days when he
was 'Off'
'w' for the Waiting days(3)
'p' for
the days that he is to be Paid.
The
time he was off is shown '0.400' being 2 days in 5 working days.
The
'Value' is also calculated, in this case £27.28
being £68.20 * 0.400.
You
can now press 'O.K.' to return to the Payroll
Again because this is the
first PIW you will be taken back through the 'Average of 8
weeks pay' again.
The
main 'Process Payroll' will display both the amount of the S.S.P. and
the time off that was paid.
The S.S.P. has now been entered recorded and calculated.
The SSP is displayed on the payslips
& also on the report 'Summary for Period'
nb There are 2 employees, this is important re the recovery of SSP.
We are now entering the second week of sickness in the next payrun.
You can also left click & drag with the mouse to mark the days off
Then click on 's' to replace the PURPLED area with 's'
You can also see here that the lower case letters have been replaced with UPPER CASE.
You cannot change any of the letters on the BLUE background as they have been permanently recored.
CalcPay
also does the P32 monthly calculation as to ascertain how much, if any,
of the SSP is recoverable.
Just as well CalcPay does ALL the calculations for you.
You
can also view the period of absence in the employee details area.
If
you wish to change the work days of the employee you can do it here.
