An auto pay employee who is salaried and in a monthly pay group requests four sick days from 04/05/2026 to 07/05/2026. The employee has no PIWs in the last 8 weeks. This employee will be paid SSP for the four days of absence.
If the Apply UK Sick Pay Rule is configured to calculate SSP based on a seven-day workweek, the employee is paid £17.61, which is the weekly SSP for 2026/2027 amount divided by seven.
Moreover, the Apply UK Sick Pay Rule has the Stop Auto Pay checkbox selected, so the application prorates auto pay for this employee using the following formula:
[(employee salary / 12)/ total business days] x business days worked
Because the employee's salary is £40,000, and they worked 19 of the 23 business days in the pay period, the following formula is used to calculate the prorated auto pay of £2,753.62 that period:
[(40,000 / 12) / 23] x 19
