Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is not paid

I have entered or accepted a new sickness but it is not paying any SSP.

SSP doesn't calculate a payment if the sickness entered links to a sickness that has been processed before applying the legislation hotfix. This also impacts any sicknesses entered via SelectHR integration. To resolve this, follow the steps under the relevant section below.

šŸ“ŒNote: For SSP to calculate, the employee must have previous pay history; this can be seen via their P11 history.
