You can configure an employee's payroll elections to allow deductions or allowances to continue when they enter sick or parental leave, even though these amounts are set to stop via their payroll policy. This allows you to handle the case where you want an allowance or deduction to continue for a specific employee, but not for other employees who are assigned to the payroll policy.
Before You Begin: This functionality is only applicable when statutory pay is generated in the Payroll module, and not for when statutory pay adjustments are generated via the WFM module.
You can set the application to stop allowances or deductions when the employee is on leave via the Apply UK Parental Pay Rule or the Apply UK Sick Pay Rule. See Overview of Statutory Parental Pay for UK Employees and Statutory Sick Pay for UK Employees.
In the People feature, when you load an employee's record and go to the Payroll > Payroll Elections screen, the General Details section for UK deduction and allowance records displays the Continue on Statutory Pay checkbox, which is cleared by default:
When you select this checkbox for an employee who enters sick or parental leave, and the allowance or deduction is set to stop via the employee's payroll policy, the application ignores the stop and continues to calculate the amount as it would normally.
Conversely, leave this checkbox cleared and the application respects the stop that is set at the payroll policy level.
