Release Notes WFM: Ability to Pay CSP from 1st and 2nd and or 3rd Day of Absence

What’s Changing?

The setting Is CSP paid on waiting days? will be changed to Absent waiting Day to start paying CSP. It will be possible to select 1 through to 4.

Proposed Release Date: 13th September 2018

Reason for the Change

Currently employees can only be paid Company Sick Pay (CSP) from the 1st or 4th day of absence. This does not always align with employees' CSP entitlements and therefore causes manual work to ensure that CSP is being paid appropriately.

Customers Affected

All HR &Payroll customers.

Fig.2 - New setting and drop-down menu - Absent waiting Day to start paying CSP

At the time of this deployment:

If the box for Is CSP paid on waiting days? is ticked then the system will default to 1st Absent Day from the new setting
If the box for Is CSP paid on waiting days? is not ticked, the system will default to 4th Absent Day (No Waiting Days) from the new setting

This setting will determine which day an employee’s absence will begin receiving CSP payments from. No other parts of the CSP calculation have been modified.
