Multiple Assignments and Absences
In a multiple assignment scenario, each assignment may or may not have the same absence payment factor associated with it.
For example, if the member has 2 assignments, and assignment 1 is paid at a rate of 50% but assignment 2 has dropped to zero pay, each assignment will be assessed according to its own factor.
To ensure that the payment factor specific to each assignment is used to determine the contribution base and tier for that assignment, you must edit the following formulas:
- Absence Entitlement Result formulas (<Absence Element Name> Entitlement Result)
for:
- Statutory and occupational sickness-related absences
- Statutory and occupational family-related leave absences
- TPS Pension Calculator formula (<TPS Scheme Name> Calculator) - for pension schemes created on or before release 22D
- TPS Pension Distributor formula (<TPS Scheme Name> Distributor) - for pension schemes created on or before release 22D
The pension scheme formula changes described in this section also include the changes needed to Reduce Eligible Compensation to Exclude Non-Pensionable Sickness Payment Amount.
Prerequisites
Configure your absence elements as described in the help topic: Define Payroll Elements to Process Absences in the Implementing Payroll for the United Kingdom guide. Statutory absence setup must conform to the configuration described in Setting Up and Migrating UK Statutory Absences (Doc ID 2235239.1).
