Message text: SSP1 Warning: On &1, employee has been paid &2 weeks SSP



What causes this issue?

The employee has been paid 23 weeks SSP at this point during their PIW.
There is a statutory requirement to issue an SSP1 when the employee
reaches this point in their 28 week payment.


Form SSP1
When the employee is not eligible to receive SSP the employer must issue
the employee with a form SSP1, or the employer's own version of the
form, no later than:
Seven days after the employer was notified that the employee's sickness
would last at least four days, <ZH>or</>
The first payday in the tax month after the one in which the reason for
issuing the form SSP1 arose.
This alternative deadline applies where the payroll arrangements are
such that it is impracticable to issue the form within the seven-day
period
If the period of sickness continues after the payment of SSP ends, or
after the employee has lost their right to receive SSP, you must as an
employer (Social Security Administration Act 1992, s. 130) issue the
form SSP1 so that the employee can make a claim for Incapacity Benefit.
The time scale for issuing Form SPP1 is as follows:
If the employee is due 28 weeks' SSP, at the beginning of the 23rd week
of SSP payments
If your employer's liability is due to end before the 23rd week of SSP
payments, two weeks before the date the liability is due to end
If your employer's liability ends unexpectedly before the 23rd week of
SSP payment, as soon as the employer knows it will end or has ended
When you issue the form SSP1 at the beginning of the employee's 23rd
week of incapacity, the employee may return to work before the maximum
liability has ended. If the employee has a linking PIW, you should issue
another SSP1 form immediately. This form should indicate that the reason
the form has been issued is that the 28 weeks' maximum SSP has been or
will be paid, stating the date the liability will end.
If you become aware that you have issued a form SSP1 in error, you must
inform both the employee <ZH>and </>the employee's local Jobcentre Plus
or social security office. That office will check to see whether they
have overpaid social security benefits to the employee. The employer
must then pay to the employee any arrears of SSP due, ensuring that the
SSP and payroll records are revised accordingly.


System Response

A payroll warning message is issued part-way through the PIW, as soon as
the 23rd week has begun to be paid during a payroll period.
