Offset Statutory Sick Pay for a Worker (UK)

Offset Statutory Sick Pay for a Worker (UK)

  • Configure time off types for sick leave under the
    Sickness
     tab in the
    Maintain Payroll Country Time off Payment Types
     task.
  • Create a separate time off for each of the sickness allowances.
  • Enable re-evaluation on absence tables or tiers.
  • Security: Set Up: Payroll (Calculations - Payroll Specific) domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
Use the
Create UK Absence Component Related Calculations for SSP
 task to offset a worker's Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) against any company, contractual, or occupational sick pay that you provide. This task can reduce the need to calculate the amount to offset manually, such as when a worker crosses different time off plans or event types.
Example: For a company that offers occupational sick pay, such as Full Sick Pay, Half Sick Pay, and No Sick Pay, then based on the company policy for sickness, you only offset SSP when the employee receives Full Sick Pay. In such cases, create a Payroll Absence Component Related Calculation (ACRC) only for the time off that relates to Full Sick Pay.
  1. Access the
    Create UK Absence Component Related Calculations for SSP
     task.
    Select the time off for which you want to create the absence related calculations.
    To view all the payroll related calculations, run the
    View UK Absence Component Related Calculations for SSP
     report.
  2. Create a new earning or deduction.
    Add the
    Workers Eligible for SSP Offset
     eligibility rule to the
    Worker Eligibility
     field in the
    Criteria
     section of the
    Effective Dated
     tab.
  3. Add your payroll related calculations for SSP offset.
    Workday creates 2 ACRCs. One ACRC returns the number of qualifying absence units that you have to offset and the other ACRC returns the payment value that you can offset.
  4. (Optional) Add a calculation worktag of position if you plan to support multiple positions or jobs for a worker.
    To use time off entries for multiple positions, specify all the time off entries using the same method, either in hours or in days.
