Guide: Managing sick pay

Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and Occupational Sick Pay (OSP) are paid automatically once a calendar entry for sickness has been made, providing the employee has entitlement. All sickness records for an employee are entered and maintained via the Calendar. For more information about SSP entitlements, see https://www.gov.uk/statutory-sick-pay. 

For more general information about OPS, see What are occupational sick pay (OSP) schemes?

To manage sick pay within your organisation, you must set up and implement the following:

1. Set up OSP and/or SSP defaults
2. Create new OSP schemes
3. Assign employees to OSP schemes
4. Create calendar events
5. Calculate sick pay
6. View and update SSP claims
