Qualifying Days Profile

Use the Qualifying Days Profile command to maintain one or more qualifying patterns which apply to your employees. You can assign patterns to employee records using the SSP Qualifying Days command on the Action menu associated with the Payroll Processing form. This facility only applies if you have selected the Use Full SSP Processing option on the Options Page 2 tab of the Payroll Options form. The default pattern is Monday to Friday. Qualifying days are determined by the employer in connection with the employee's contract and usually depends on the normal working days. For example, if an employee works a typical full week, the qualifying days would be Monday to Friday.

Each profile comprises a profile code and description, a starting date and number of weeks you want in the pattern. This is to cater for those circumstances where the qualifying days pattern might vary from one week to another within a given period. Once you have saved these details, the application displays a grid showing the default pattern for each of the number of weeks specified. You can then, for any selected week, change which days are qualifying days if they are to vary from the default. You can retrieve the details of a qualifying pattern for amendment at any time using the Details command on the Action menu associated with the Qualifying Days Profile form. Another command, Preview, will display a diary view of the qualifying pattern within the profile with qualifying days and paid SSP days being colour-coded.
