Enable New Statutory Sick Pay Processing

To process Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) absences with a new rule, recognition of a transition date and flow submission need to be completed.

To activate the new SSP processing rules, that you will need to decide on a transition date. The transition date will determine what date any new absences created will use the Case model to process SSP absences. For example, if transition date is set to 1-AUG-2021, any new absences created on or after that date, will be created in the Case model. Any absences created before this date will be created in the existing Fast Formula solution.

Customers who are importing absences from previous application (be it 1 year, 3 year, all, or last absence chain), then we recommend they set the transition date to a date in the past, say 01-Jan-1951.

After this date is set, it cannot be changed. The transition date will be stored in a new SYSTEM lookup type called ORA_HRX_GB_ABS_CONFIG, and the transition process will create a new lookup code called ORA_HRX_GB_SSP_TRANSITION_DATE with the start date of this record being the transition date. The end date will be end of time.

If customers have existing SSP set up, the transition date will be used to make a date effective update to the absence plan, and absence type as shown here:

• Remove the conversion formula and entitlement definition formula from the absence plan.
• Remove the linkage formula from the absence type.

Note: These formulas are no longer required for the new SSP solution.

To enable the new processing procedure that you will need to submit a flow. Perform the following steps to run the process:

1. In the My Client Groups work area, select Payroll > Flow Submission and Results > Submit a Flow area.
2. Select the relevant Legislative Data Group.
3. Click the Run Feature Upgrade flow pattern.
4. In the Submit a Payroll Flow page, enter the parameters as shown below:

   FIELD	VALUE
   Payroll Flow	Enter a name for the flow
   Feature	Set transition date to process statutory sick pay absences in case mode
   Additional information	Enter the transition date in the format DD-MON-YYYY, for example 01-Jan-1951. The date must be in this format or the process will not work correctly.

5. Click Submit.

Once the flow has completed successfully, you will be able to process SSP absences with the new solution.

Note: Once the multiple assignment processing is enabled, you can’t go back to previous SSP processing.
