Sick Pay

This column is used to pay employees for days in which they were absent from work due to illness.

 

Vacation Pay

This column is used to pay employees for days which are "paid vacation".  Sometimes this is done in 1 or 2 day increments ( long weekends ), or may be paid in a lump sump on an annual basis.

 

Available days

This field displays the number of days that the employee has "earned" of either sick, or vacation, pay based on the time they have worked since their hiring minus the days for which they have already been paid.

 

# of days to pay

Enter the number of days for which you want to pay on the next payroll processing.

 

Amount per day

The system will provide the default amount that you have entered for payment.  However, you may modify the amount.  The system will calculate the total to be paid based on the amount entered in this field.

 

Processing

The amounts entered in this form will be retained in a payroll record, and will be paid when payroll processing next occurs for this employee.

                     

It is possible to pay sick pay even though it is not earned.  This  will allow a deficit condition.  It is not recommended that any  significant amount of this pay be advanced, because it is not  reclaimable should the employee terminate their position.
