To Create an SSP Absence Record

1. Ensure you have created an SSP type payment profile in the Payroll - Maintenance - Payment Profile command.

2. Open the Payroll folder and then click Processing or click the Payroll & HR tab on the Ribbon Bar and then click Payroll - Processing.

3. If you are using groups, in the Select Groups list, click to select the group(s) you want to process and then click OK.

4. Retrieve the relevant employee record. On the Payroll Processing form, click Action, point to Statutory Payments and then click SSP Absence. The SSP Diary form is displayed.

5. Do one of the following:

   • Click to select the day(s) in the diary you want to use to determine the period of SSP absence, then on the Action menu, click Create New Absence. The Absence Maintenance form appears which will already have the From and To dates entered with the date(s) selected.

Important: If the new period of absence is adjacent to an existing period of absence, the relevant record is updated automatically instead of a new one being created.

1. • On the Action menu, click Absence Maintenance then use the form to create a new SSP absence. If the new absence is adjacent to an existing period of absence you must edit the relevant record rather than create a new record.

6. In the boxes provided, complete the details of the SSP absence record.

7. To save the record, click the icon on the toolbar or press CTRL+S.

Notes: By default, the current processing date is selected in the SSP Diary form. To select a range of days, click to select the start date, hold down the SHIFT key, click the end date and then release the SHIFT key.

Use the Memo tab to enter additional details associated with the SSP absence record.

Use the Absence Days command on the Action menu to display a grid listing the absence days. You can add comments to any of the dates and mark individual dates for the withholding of SSP.
