Include Statutory Payments in Gross Pay

When an employee is paid a statutory payment such as sick pay or maternity pay then this value is updated into the Gross Additions total. Selected options such as Pension Calculations, Holiday Pay Accumulation or Attachment of Earnings Orders can be set to be a percentage of Gross Pay and these are based on the Gross Pay itself and wouldn’t include these statutory payment values.

This new feature – affecting Statutory Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Adoption Pay and Paternity Pay – allows you to set a parameter to update statutory payment values into the Gross Pay value rather than Gross Additions and therefore allow calculations based on Gross Pay to include the effect of the statutory payment.
