How do i add SSP to payroll?

You can add the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) through the Payroll tab in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Lisa. We'll walk you through the process to answer your inquiry promptly. 

To begin, here's how:

1. On the left navigational bar, go to the Payroll tab.
2. Select your employee.
3. Choose Statutory Leave and click Start.
4. Click Statutory Sick Pay (SPP).
5. Select the start and end dates of the leave. If you’re unsure about the last day of leave, set the best estimated end date and update later in the ‘Leave periods’ section.
6. Enter the average weekly earnings. QuickBooks automatically calculates this unless you are switching from another payroll system or have not run payroll in QuickBooks. AWE is calculated based on the 8-week period before the first day of sickness.
7. Add any linked Absence days, if applicable.
8. Save your changes.
