SSP1(L) Form Data GB (Infotype 0085) 

Definition

You use this infotype to create a link between current and previous Periods of Incapacity for Work (PIWs) an employee possesses.

 

Use

You create an infotype SSP1(L) Form Data GB (0085) record for an employee when you need to link to existing PIWs with his or her previous employer.

The information you maintain in infotype 0085 enables the Payroll component to calculate whether the employee is entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), and if so, when.

On the basis of the details you enter from the employee’s SSP1(L) Form, the Payroll component determines whether there is a linking PIW.

If the time period between two PIWs is less than fifty-six calendar days, these PIWs are classified as linking PIWs.

 

Structure

Previous Employment Group Box

Date SSP1(L) received

This is the date on which you received the SSP1(L) Form.

If an employee started work in your organisation with an SSP1(L), you must enter any data relating to Periods of Incapacity for Work (PIWs) in the previous employment in this group box. These details are required by the Payroll component to establish whether the employee has a linking PIW and whether he or she is entitled to SSP.

Date of last sick pay from previous employer

This date is contained on the SSP1(L) Form.

The Payroll component requires this date to determine whether an employee has a PIW within eight weeks of the last PIW. If this is the case, a link is generated automatically.

Number of weeks of sick pay – previous employer

This information is contained on the SSP1(L) Form.

If the Payroll component establishes that an employee has a linking PIW, it requires this information to calculate whether the employee is entitled to SSP.

Notification of leaving

Date on which the notification of leaving was received.

An SSP1(L) Form is issued to an employee on request when leaving. However, the form must be issued within a certain time limit. This time limit is either seven days after the SSP1(L) has been requested, or the first payday in the tax month following the one in which it was requested by the employee.

You must issue an SSP1(L) by the first payday of the following tax month when it is impracticable for you to issue it within seven days of the employee’s request.

Last sick pay: employer

Date of last sick pay with the current employer.
