Employees who are due to start or are currently receiving parental pay, if their child spends time in neonatal care, are eligible for one week of statutory neonatal care pay (SNCP) for each week their child is in neonatal care. To add statutory neonatal care to an employee, follow the steps below.
Before adding SNCP there are a few things to consider:
Eligibility checks must be completed outside of Access Payroll. Utilise HMRC's guide to confirm this.
SNCP is for statutory payments only; occupational pay must be processed under a separate pay element.
Payments made under the SNCP pay element will automatically be deducted from the amount to HMRC on the statutory return.
Click Process Pay, and then click Amend Period Pay.
Select the required frequency, and then click Continue.
Find and select the required employee, and then click Edit.
Click Insert new record, then from the drop-down, click SNCP.
Enter the required rate and quantity.
Click Save.
