Statutory Sick Pay

ZX Computing

IN SICKNESS A free-standing computer program which calculates Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is now available from Hilderbay Ltd. use of the program requires no knowledge of computing or of the workings of SSP. As you probably know if you are an employer or employee, Statutory Sick Pay came into operation on 6 April, 1983. There is an employer's guide to SSP, but it's over 60 pages long! All employers must calculate and pay SSP to their sick employees, and then recover their payments by deducting them from their National Insurance Contributions - there is a fine of £200 plus £20 per day for failure to keep the required records. The program, priced at £35 as part of an introductory offer, has been designed to run on the 48K Spectrum. The first time the user runs the program, it should help explain the necessary steps needed to be taken: a comprehensive list of exceptions are gone through; the program asks for details of the employee's pay and dates of sickness; and finally, the program computes and prints the SSP payable and other information required for future use.
