For employees with active SMP payment periods, the following screen will be displayed

When the pay run is started, IRIS Payrite will work out the number of weeks to pay SMP. This is based on the number of weeks ending on a Saturday that fall within the pay period dates. These will display as a P in the main section of the window.

You can see the total amount of SMP to be paid in the top-right section of the screen.

Assign SMP weeks to pay

IRIS Payrite will allocate weeks of SMP to pay in the payrun based on the number of weeks ending on a Saturday that fall within the pay period. If you wish to manually allocate weeks of SMP to pay in the run you can use the following method.

1. Click on the Payrun icon.

2. Go to the Payrun menu and select Amend Payrun followed by Full Data Entry.

3. Click OK at the payrun reference screen, and go to the SMP tab.

6. To remove a week from the run, change the Status value of week you wish to remove to – using the drop-down list.

   

7. If you wish to add a week to the run which IRIS Payrite has not assigned for payment, identify the week and change the Status value to P.

   

8. Alternatively, to show that an employee has worked for the week rather than taken SMP, change the Status value of the selected week to W.

   

9. Adjustments made to the payment status will have an effect on the amount of SMP paid, and this can be seen in the box on the right-hand side.

   

10. Once you have finished amending the paid SMP weeks, click Save.

Record KIT days

You will see a KIT days column on the list of SMP weeks. This can be used to record how many KIT days have been taken in the week, please note however that this is for recording only and does not affect SMP values.
