Employee Details - the Absence tab
Description

You use the Employee Details window's Absence tab to set up the annual entitlements for employee absence.

Sage Payroll determines the number of days taken using the absence records specified during time and pay entry.

NOTE: The Absence Details are used for reference and reporting purposes only, and are not used to calculate holiday pay. 

TIP: The employee Code, Surname, First Name, PPS Number, Employment ID, Department and Cost Centre codes are displayed on each tab. You can amend these details (other than the code) if required. For more information about these details, see Personnel tab.

This is automatically updated when the Clear Absence routine is run.

Entitlement

The number of days entitlement in this year for sickness (certified and uncertified) and other absences.

Less Taken

The number of days taken in this year for sickness (certified and uncertified) and other absences as entered on timesheets or manually updated here. They're automatically deducted from the Entitlement amount to give the Due figure.

Due

The number of absence days that the employee has left to take in the current tax year. Calculated by adding the amount of B/Forward days to the Entitlement minus Less Taken.

The number of Statutory Sick pay (SSP) days the employee is entitled to. This is 3 days for the 2022 tax year.

Less Taken (days)

The number of days taken in this year for SSP.

Remaining (days)

The number of days of SSP days that the employee has left to take in the current tax year. Calculated by the Entitlement (days) minus Less Taken (days).

SSP Daily Rate
