Definition
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) weeks paid.
Outside the payroll cluster, this field is displayed in the format of decimal weeks (NN.NNNN). A formatting algorithm has been applied wherever this field is displayed outside the payroll cluster to ensure that it is displayed as a number of weeks. The reason for this is that the SAP absence solution currently deals with the storage and calculation of SSP weeks paid differently between GBSxP Phase I and GBSxP Phase II.
Technical Details
GBSxP Phase I: NNNNNN
For an employee who qualifies for SSP, this field shows for how many weeks he or she has received an SSP payment. The value is held to four decimal places (that is, 280000 represents 28 weeks)
GBSxP Phase II: Q0NN0N
For Phase II, this field holds two values:
- Q : The number of Qualifying Days in the whole SSP week if the SSP Qualifying Day Pattern (QDP) were valid for the entire SSP week.
- NN0N : The number of weeks (to one decimal place) that have been paid so far.
Example:
The field entry 501302 represents a day that is part of a QDP containing five Qualifying Days and 13 weeks and one day have been paid so far - including the current day.
Example
The calculation of the value contained in this field is covered in the Inland Revenue Employer Guide's for SSP. The following example concerns a situation when an employee's QDP changes. However, this example can equally be applied to a case where an employee's QDP does not change.
An employee works full-time with Qualifying Days assigned as Monday - Friday inclusive. She takes sickness absence from April 29 to June 12, 2001 [A], receiving five weeks and four days SSP. (April 30 to May 02 are waiting days).
The employee then transfers to part-time working on July 30 , with new Qualifying Days of Tuesday - Thursday inclusive. She is sick from August 06 to September 04 [B], receiving SSP for four weeks and one day . The Periods of Incapacity for Work (PIWs) link.
To calculate how many weeks of Statutory Sick Pay have been paid:
- Take each PIW in which the Qualifying Days remain the same and work out how many days Statutory Sick Pay was due.
- Divide this number of days by the number of Qualifying Days in the week.
For [A] : (5 x 5) + 4 = 29 / 5 = 5.8 weeks
For [B] : (4 x 3) + 1 = 13 / 3 = 4.3 weeks
Total number of weeks paid = 10.1
The value 10.1 is the amount that is held in the SSP Weeks Paid field.
However, the full calculation to determine the employee's remaining entitlement has a further calculation:
From above, therefore, your remaining employer liability for SSP for this employee is 28 - 10.1 = 17.9 weeks
To calculate the number of odd days needed to make up the fraction of a week:
1) Express one Qualifying Day as a decimal fraction of a week (see table below)
2) Divide into the fraction of a week's liability which remains, and round up.
If there are three qualifying days in a week: one Qualifying Day = 0.334
0.9 / 0.334 = 2.69 - rounded up to three days. The possible liability of 18 weeks remains.
Because not all the possible numbers of Qualifying Days in a week convert to exact decimal fractions, the following decimal fractions must be used in all cases:
Qualifying Days in a week Decimal fraction for one day
7 0.143
6 0.167
5 0.2
4 0.25
3 0.334
2 0.5
1 1.0
