In Access Pay & Bill, click the Payroll menu and Point to Statutory Payments Maintenance.
Click SSP History Maintenance.
Enter the Worker Reference or press F5 to zoom and search for a worker.
Enter the Sickness Start Date, Sickness End Date and Absence Code.
Review the above then click Exit.
⚠️ Important: Payments are based on calculated weekly earnings value. This can be overridden by selecting the Use Override check box in the More Details tab. You must also enter an Overridden Value greater than the lower-earning threshold of £123 per week. Workers with less than eight weeks of service must also be processed with an overridden value.
