Sage payroll - help with SMP
 

I am trying to set up SMP for one of our employee. She has been with the company for 4.5years so she is entitled to SMP.

I am having problem to set it up correctly. She is leaving on Maternity leave on 20.2.2012  the baby is due on 16.4.2012 and she will be returning on 19.11.2012

I am trying to run payroll as of 29.2.2012 but getting incorrect amount on payslip. When I input all SMP data into the software and then enter payment. The payslips appears as monthly payment plus SMP. So the payment element is 1. She would be getting the payment for a whole month plus SMP which is not correct as she is leaving for maternity leave on 20th February.

I do not know what I am doing wrong that all month is taken into account although I have input start of maternity leave as of 20th February. When I had a look at payslip from another employee who left for maternity leave few years ago also in the middle of month, the payment element for that month was 0.48 plus SMP for the rest of the month.

Can anyone help me what I am doing wrong? Why the payment element remains as 1 and the SMP is added to the whole monthly salary?

I hope I described my problem clearly. I am attaching the wrong calculation on payslip.

Thank you

Hi There - I've just set up a new lady on SMP on Sage and I've opted for the Manual SMP Option (In the Employee record, Absence Tab, tick Manual SMP Option) and I've used the HMRC Basic PAYE Tools to print out the SMP.

In the Payroll, I've clicked on 'Enter Payments' and over ridden her basic with what I want it to be for the part month (I use x/260th's) then on the Summary Tab double click on SMP Current box and a new box pops up for you to enter how much SMP you want her to have this month.

Then next month when it's just SMP delete her Basic money completely and just enter the SMP (perhaps keep the print out from the Basic Tools in your 'To Do' folder so it doesn't get missed next month?).

I hope this helps! Sorry it wasn't the answer to getting Sage to do it for you!
