Payment
Choose to either Pay as Usual, Don't Pay, or Statutory Pay.
Note that Statutory Pay is only a valid option for certain leave types.
From and To
Enter the dates for the leave.
For certain types half-days aren't possible so the AM/PM option may not be shown.
Baby Due Date / Matching Date
For some statutory leave types you will also be asked to provide this date too.
Average Weekly Earnings
For some statutory leave types we need to work out the Average Weekly Earnings (AWE) for the employee so as to work out how much they should be paid.
We attempt to work this out for you automatically, but if this isn't possible or you want to override the value then you can.
Override Amount
We will automatically work out the appropriate amount to pay for Statutory Pay such as SMP, SPP, etc.
But if you want to override this then you can.
Click the "Override payment amount or description" link and boxes will appear for you to override the amount and/or the description.

You can enter anything you like in this field. It's only used for your own reference.
