Formulas for SSP

This table describes the day formula and formulas for checking PIW and waiting days:

Formula Description

SSP FM MIN ABSENCE

Determines whether an absence entry qualifies as a PIW (4 or more consecutive calendar days). This formula is resolved once per absence entry.

SSP FM WAIT DAYS

Calculates the number of remaining days of absence before the waiting days requirement is met.

SSP FM DAY

The day formula is resolved for each day of an absence entry. SSP FM DAY determines whether the employee is disqualified for SSP. It calls the formula SSP FM DISQUALIFY that checks certain conditions:

  • Employee not on maternity leave.

  • Absence not caused by pregnancy-related illness within 4 weeks of the EWC.

  • PIW does not span more than 3 years.

  • Employee not terminated.

  • Disqualification date in absence entry.

This table describes the main formulas used to process the SSP entitlement:

Formula Description

SSP FM COND ENT

The conditional resolution formula is resolved once per absence entry. It checks employee's eligibility. This formula calls the formula SSP FM ENTITLED.

If the employee is not eligible for paid leave, the system creates an absence entry of unpaid. No earning is generated.

SSP FM ENTITLED

This formula calls the following formulas to determine if the employee meets criteria for SSP:

  • SSP FM HR ENTITLED checks whether the employee is aged 16 or over, and under 65.

  • SSP FM EARNINGS determines whether the employee's average earnings are at or above the LEL.

  • SSP FM USER COND is for company-specific SSP criteria. For example, if you have criteria for notification of absence that employee's must meet to qualify for SSP, use SSP FM USER COND to check for this condition.

Formulas for SMP and SAP

This table describes the day formulas for SMP and SAP:

Formula Description

SMP FM DAY2

The day formula is resolved for each day of an absence entry. However, SMP is paid weekly, not daily, and employees must be absent for 7 consecutive days to be eligible for SMP. The day formula, SMP FM DAY2, therefore resolves to true after a 7 day period. If an employee returns to work for a part of a week, SMP is not paid and the system doesn't generate SMP earnings for that week.

SAP FM DAY

The day formula is resolved for each day of an absence entry. However, SAP is paid weekly, not daily, and employees must be absent for 7 consecutive days to be eligible for SAP. The day formula, SAP FM DAY, therefore resolves to true after a 7-day period. If an employee returns to work for a part of a week, SAP is not paid and the system doesn't generate SAP earnings for that week.

This table describes the main formulas used to process the SMP and SAP entitlement elements:

Formula Description

SMP FM COND ENT

The conditional resolution formula is resolved once per absence entry to determine the employee's eligibility. The formula checks:

  • Average earnings compared to the LEL.

  • HR maternity information.

If the employee is not eligible for paid leave, the system creates an absence entry of unpaid. No earning is generated.

SMP FM ENT WEEKS

The entitlement formula is resolved once per absence. It calculates the initial entitlement or adjusts entitlement if there has been a break in maternity leave and the employee returns to work for a period.

If the employee has entitlement remaining when you run the payroll process, it generates earning SMP ER PAY1 or SMP ER PAY2.

SAP FM COND ENT

Checks employee's eligibility for SAP. This formula checks average earnings.

If the employee is not eligible for paid leave, the system creates an absence entry of unpaid. No earning is generated.

SAP FM ENT CALC

Calculates the initial entitlement or adjusts entitlement if there has been a break in adoption leave and the employee returns to work for a period.

If the employee has entitlement remaining, when you run the payroll process, it generates earning SAP ER PAY.

Formulas for SPP

This table describes the day formula for SPP (birth) and SPP (adoption):

Formula Description

SPP FM DAY

The day formula, SPP FM DAY, resolves to true after a 7-day period because SPP is a weekly payment. Employees must be absent for 7 consecutive days to be eligible for SPP.

If an employee returns to work for a part of a week, SPP is not paid and the system doesn't generate an earning for the absence.

This table describes the main formulas used to process the SPPB and SPPA entitlement elements:

Formula Description

SPPB FM COND ENT

SPPA FM COND ENT

Checks employee's eligibility for SPP. This formula compares the employee's average earnings with the LEL.

If the employee is not eligible for paid leave, the system creates an absence entry of unpaid. No earning is generated.

SPPB FM ENT CALC

SPPA FM ENT CALC

Calculates the initial entitlement. If the employee has entitlement remaining, when you run the payroll process, it generates the earning SPPB ER PAY for SPP (birth) or SPPB ER PAY for SPP (adoption).

Formulas for SPBP

This table describes the main formulas used to process the SPBP entitlement elements:

Formula Description

SPBP FM COND ENT

Checks employee's eligibility for SPBP. This formula compares the employee's average earnings with the LEL.

If the employee is not eligible for paid leave, the system creates an absence entry of unpaid. No earning is generated.

SPBP FM ENT CALC

Calculates the initial entitlement. If the employee has entitlement remaining, when you run the payroll process, it generates the earning SPBP ER PAY.

This table describes the day formula used to process the SPBP entitlement elements:

Formula Description

SPBP FM DAY

The day formula, SPBP FM DAY, resolves to true after a seven day period because SPBP is a weekly payment. Employees must be absent for 7 consecutive days to be eligible for SPBP.

If an employee returns to work for a part of a week, SPBP is not paid and the system doesn't generate an earnings for the absence.
