Add SNCP Details

• Select SNCP Payment Type: Select the appropriate option to indicate the effect SNCP will have on your employee's basic pay. This usually depends on your company's own policy.
• Reduce Full Basic by Statutory Pay Amount: Select this option if it is your policy to offset the employee's gross basic pay by the amount of SNCP he or she is eligible to receive. i.e. the employee's gross basic pay will be reduced by the SNCP amount. For example: the employee's normal gross basic wage is £500. This week she is eligible to receive £90 SNCP so her gross basic wage will be reduced to £410. £410 basic + £90 SNCP = £500.
• Add Statutory Pay Amount to Timed Basic Pay: Select this option if you want SNCP to be paid in addition to gross Basic pay. For example: if gross Basic pay is £500 and SNCP is £90, then the employee will receive £590 gross pay.
• Pay Statutory Pay Amount Only (either SSP/SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP): Select this option if it is your policy not to pay your employee their basic pay when she is receiving SNCP. Only SNCP will be paid for the weeks the employees eligible to receive it. Please note that the basic pay should be amended to zero.
