Absences Affected by Statutory Rate Increases

The UK government usually increases the statutory absence payment rates once a year in April.

This means that any absence records which end after new rates begin, can be affected.

If there are any absence records which have already been created and have an end date beyond the payment rate increase date, then you will need to run the core ‘Evaluate Absences Process’. This is to ensure that the new rate is applied to the absence(s) affected.

Further information on the ‘Evaluate Absences Process’ can be found in the Using Absence Management User guide.
