How to check

• Create any SSP Statutory sick pay refers to the pay an employer must give you if you’re too ill to work. It’s paid to you by your employer for up to 28 weeks, based on certain eligibility criteria - the cost of SSP is no longer able to be recovered - SSP is no longer reported to HMRC on your EPS submissions payments manually.

• If paying an employee SSP in Keytime Payroll, you must enter the absence into Staffology Payroll.

• Click on the Employees menu and select an employee in the list to open the employee details, then select the Leave tab.

• Click Add Leave and choose Type – Sick Leave on the displayed screen and input the first day of the current period of sickness in the From field and the last day of the sickness period in the To field and change Payment to Statutory Pay. If you wish to pay the employee their regular pay, leave Payment as Pay as usual and amend the Average Weekly Earnings if required.

How to make changes

• The amount of SSP shown may be incorrect if you have already paid some of it in IRIS Earnie; you will need to adjust the amount of SSP the next time you process payroll. Pick the relevant employee in the list displayed on the Payroll | Payslips screen to view a summary of their current payroll; select the SSP row and tick the Override the calculated value box to alter the amount displayed in the New Value field.

We strongly recommend that you parallel run Staffology Payroll with IRIS Earnie for at least one payroll period after the upgrade. If this is not possible, check the first period’s figures thoroughly.
