Additional Information

With BC Sick Pay Auto-Calculation, you will no longer be required to input any Hours or Amount Values in an Earning and Deduction entry. Our system will automatically calculate the pay that is owed to the employee for the sick time.

For each day an employee is sick, you must create a separate Earning and Deduction entry with the associated Optional Date. This ensures that the correct calculation is used for an average day's pay as this can change if the employee does not work the same amount of hours each shift. 

If the employee cannot wait for the next pay period to be paid, you can process an Off run to pay the employee for their sick time. 

Note that this is not tied to Leave Management, the system will automatically create the Earning and Deduction entry after the time off request associated with the sick policy is approved.

Please note that only Super Administrators and Team Administrators with permission to Run Payroll or Create Earning and Deduction Entries for the relevant Sick Payout Preset will be able to complete this process.
