Guide: Managing sick pay

Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and Occupational Sick Pay (OSP) are paid automatically once a sickness entry has been made in the Calendar, provided the employee has entitlement. All sickness records are entered and maintained through the Calendar.

For more information about SSP entitlements, see GOV.UK: Statutory Sick Pay. For more general information about OSP, see What are occupational sick pay (OSP) schemes?

Steps to take

1. Set up OSP and/or SSP defaults.

2. Create new OSP schemes.

3. Assign employees to OSP schemes.

4. Create calendar events.

5. Calculate sick pay.

6. View and update SSP claims.
