Statutory Payments

This form contains details about the employee's statutory leave and payments.

Sick Pay

The Sick pay analysis table displays the days of sick leave that the employee has taken. Pay lines that are against transaction types that have the Apply SSP option selected display here.

Each line has a type, Waiting Day, Non-Working Day, and Qualifying Day. The Qualifying days display the pay number that the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) was paid on.

Statutory Payments

Statutory parental payments are shown on this form. Clicking the buttons enables users to create a record for the employee. Once the leave payment is due, Greentree Desktop pays out the rate required for the leave. You can view the pays that the leave is paid on by drilling down to the record.

The recovery of statutory payments are processed as part of the Payments to the HMRC process and reported to the HMRC on the EPS.

Historical Information

When setting up a new system, you can enter historical information by clicking the Earnings History button. You can enter a prior sick period on this form, and Greentree Desktop inserts this into the sick pay analysis table and uses this to determine future sick pay periods. This includes determining whether or not this is a continuous period and takes into account waiting days or if it is a previous PIW and Greentree Desktop links the new period to the existing period.

You can enter prior earnings history to calculate the average weekly earnings used for determining whether the LEL is met to pay SSP. If you have entered a prior sick period, then you must enter the corresponding pays for that period to determine the average weekly earnings.
