Sickness Absence Processing 
Use
You record all employee information relevant to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) in the infotypes listed below. These infotype records provide the Payroll component with the information it requires to evaluate absence data and calculate the correct SSP payments during the payroll run. The Payroll component uses this information to update the Absence Calendar.
For more information on the absence calendar, see the documentation for the Personal Absence Calendar for SSP/SMP/SAP/SPP in Core Absence Reporting Tools.
Prerequisites
All information required by the Payroll component for SSP evaluation is stored in the following infotypes:
· Absences (2001)
· SSP1(L) Form Data Record (0085)
· SSP/SMP/SAP/SPP Exclusions (0086)
Features
Starting October 1, 2006, all employees with average earnings above the Lower Earning Limit (LEL) are eligible for Statutory Absence Payment processing. In case the employee is less than 16 years or over 65 years of age on October 1, 2006:
● If the Period of Incapacity of Work (PIW) is before October 1, the employee is not eligible.
● If the PIW is on or after October 1, the employee is eligible.
● If the PIW falls on both the periods before and after October 1, each period is treated separately. The employee is not eligible for absence payment processing for the period until October 1. The employee is eligible for period after October 1.
