Added the ability to process statutory neonatal care payments (SNCP). As of 6 April 2025, employees can request neonatal care leave with the Request Leave of Absence form in employee self-service. The following functionality was added to process payments and recovery amounts:
Configuring Statutory Neonatal Care Payments
- In Payroll Set-up > Earnings and Deductions, you can configure an allowance to pay statutory neonatal care payments. To support this functionality, the SNCP system-defined tax compliance rule was added and can be selected when you create a new allowance. Additionally, if you add a custom rule in the Tax Compliance Rules tab, in the United Kingdom sub-tab, Statutory Neonatal Care Pay was added as an option in the Statutory earning drop-down list.
- In Payroll Set-up > Payroll Policies, you can assign SNCP allowances to employee payroll policies in the parental pay and occupational pay policy rules. To support this functionality:
- In the Apply UK Parental Pay rule, added the Eligible Earning Neonatal Care drop-down list.
- In the UK Occupational Paternity Pay Rule, added the Occupational Neonatal Care Pay Earning drop-down list.
Statutory Pay Recovery
Added the SNCP Recovery system memo allowance used to generate the recovery values for statutory neonatal care payments. In Payroll > Pay Run Management, recovery amounts are shown in the Employee Preview slide-out panel, in the Preview and GL Preview tabs. Reporting
- SNCP totals are reported in FPS and EPS submissions and you can preview the amounts in Payroll > Post Commit Management, in the Tax Month Management tab. In the Tax Month Preview slide-out panel, the submission totals for SNCP, SNCP Recovery, and NIC Compensation on SNCP show in the Tax Month Reconciliation tab.
