| 4100. My employee has been off work sick. I have entered the dates of absence in the SSP section but no SSP has been calculated. Why?. | ||
| Please check that the employee's working pattern has been entered correctly. To do this select Employee from the Tasking Zone menu bar then further select View/Edit Employee Details. Then click on the 'View/Edit' link for the employee concerned. Next click on the 'View/Edit' button entitled Employees Work Pattern. The employee's allocated work pattern will be displayed. N stands for non-working/non-qualifying day and Q stands for working/qualifying day. The pattern can be amended if required.
In addition be aware that for an employee to qualify for SSP they must: - On the first day of sickness be aged between 16 and 65 (inclusive). - Have done some work for you under their contract. - Have been sick for 4 or more consecutive calendar days. - Have average weekly earnings of at least the LEL for NICs in the 8-week period prior to being off work. If the employee has worked for less than 8 weeks their usual pay rate must be such that if they had worked for 8 weeks at that earning level, their earnings would be above the LEL. |
