What We're Working On | WFM UK | 03 Sep 2026

As a reminder, this feature is in its final stages. All that remains is completing our internal User Acceptance Testing, which is itself nearly complete. We're currently targeting a release date of 17th September 2026, though this will be confirmed once it appears on the release notes for that release.

CSP Entitlement: FTE-Based Weeks Calculation

As a reminder, we are developing an enhancement to how Company Sick Pay entitlement is configured and calculated, allowing the CSP allowance to be defined in weeks at the contract level, with the system converting this into days based on each employee's FTE.

We've made good progress:

• Contracts can now be configured to calculate CSP entitlement in weeks
• This also applies to Length of Service increments, where CSP allowance may increase with length of service
• Length of Service configuration has been updated to allow more years to be added beyond 11 years, or reduced down to a minimum of 1 year
• An Employee Level CSP Override, allowing a user to override the contract-calculated entitlement for an individual employee (for example, overriding a contract's 10 day entitlement to 15 days).

(Screenshots of the above are available in What We're Working On | WFM UK | 06 Aug 2026)

We've also completed the conversion of Weeks Entitlement into Days Allowed:

For all employees, this uses Full Time Equivalent (FTE). Flexible employees will have Override FTE available soon.

• For example, an employee with 5 FTE Days and a Contract CSP Entitlement of 4 weeks would get 20 days CSP Allowed per year.

Only two items remain before this feature is complete:

• A UI pop-up that breaks down an employee's CSP entitlement, showing how it was calculated and what the results are
• Handling of negative balances that arise when CSP remaining (Allowance minus days taken) drops below zero as a result of configuration changes, ensuring this is handled correctly and surfaced clearly to users

We do not yet have a confirmed release date, and we will continue to provide updates as things progress.

Payrolling Benefits in Kind (PBIK)

As a reminder, development is underway on two pieces of work within the Payrolling Benefits in Kind module.

The Company Car and Car Fuel Salary Sacrifice benefit, allowing the system to automatically use whichever is higher of the Salary Sacrifice (Amount Foregone) or the calculated BIK amount depending on whether the vehicle is over or under 75g/km in emissions, is now nearing completion. All that remains is the piece around automatically populating payroll with the corresponding salary sacrifice deduction, as a negative payment, each pay period that the benefit is active.

Separately, work is also progressing on BIK Module roll-forward, which will operate automatically as part of the Payroll Module roll-forward. This will carry benefits across into the new tax year where no stop date is present, removing the administrative burden of starting calculations and notional pay afresh each year, along with the necessary end of year provisions for P11D(b) and RTI submissions. This also includes preparation for the 2027 tax year, though this remains dependent on updated legislation and RTI schema from HMRC, expected in Autumn 2026.

Accurate Wage Cost for SSP and CSP

We're improving how SSP and CSP are reflected in Wage Cost.

Previously, SSP within Wage Cost was calculated using a fixed value (the SSP Weekly Rate divided by 7) and applied to each day the employee was absent. Going forward, Wage Cost will instead retrieve the actual expected or paid SSP amount for each given day.

CSP was not previously included in Wage Cost. It will now be added in the same way, with the amount due or paid applied to the correct day.

This will give a more accurate view of wage costs where SSP and CSP represent a cost to the employer.
