This infotype contains the data on an employee which is relevant to SSP.

The information contained in the infotype allows the Payroll Accounting component to determine whether an employee is entitled to SSP, and if so, when.

This is where you specify the employee's qualifying day pattern (QDP) for SSP.

If your company has one QDP for most of the employees, individual records are not necessary. If you define this QDP as the default, it applies to all employees without SSP Control records. When you use this default QDP in a payroll run therefore, the system overrides the default for the employees with SSP Control records. However, if there is no default QDP and no employee SSP Control record, the system rejects the employee for an SSP absence.

For more information on defining and generating QDPs, see SSP Qualifying Day Patterns (QDPs) under SSP and SMP in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Payroll: United Kingdom.

The SSP Control record also lets you use the employee shift schedule as the QDP. For more information on shift schedules, see Work Schedules in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Time Management.

The Payroll Accounting component makes no SSP payments to the employee concerned for the period for which the indicator is set.

Companies may provide their own occupational sick pay schemes. If the employee concerned has joined an OSP scheme, it should be specified here.

To calculate SSP for each employee, this infotype must be read in conjunction with:

• SSP1(L) Form Data Record (infotype 0085)

• SSP/SMP Exclusions (infotype 0086)

• Absences (infotype 2001)

• Payroll Status (infotype 0003)
