Paternity pay

Question asked by Sarah Voice 6 years ago

Afternoon,

I cant seem to find where I would put in paternity pay ? it only has maternity pay set up on our system ?

Is this something I need to do myself ?

Hi Sarah,

When you go to process an employee by clicking on the 'Process' button in a period, there is a 'Show statutory payments' button available. Once that is clicked, a box for entering 'Statutory paternity pay' displays.

fab thank you

so sorry if I am being a bit thick !

I need to deduct his basic pay or if I put an amount in the paternity pay it works it all out ?

No problem, Sarah!

It works it all out for you.

sorry if I put the amount in the box it is adding it to his pay ? surely his basic amount needs to change ?

Sorry if I am missing something ?

Yes, you would have to find out how much your company is willing to pay the employee as basic pay when he is on leave and the Paternity pay figure goes on top of that.

The rest of the calculations happen automatically.
