UK Payroll - Occupational (Company) Sick Pay eg "Phased Return To Work"
Give the option of adding company sick pay entitlement, which counts towards sick leave, and then when company sick pay is exhausted, revert to SSP.

Hey all, thanks for your feedback on managing phased returns with occupational sick pay. We wanted to share that you can currently handle these scenarios in Xero by using a paid leave type.
By setting up a specific non-statutory leave pay item you can create leave requests for the specific hours an employee does not work during their phased return. This ensures they are paid correctly for their worked time while clearly documenting the "sick" hours as either paid OSP or unpaid leave.
Please keep in mind that under current legislation, any day where an employee works for even part of the day cannot qualify as a day of incapacity for SSP. Using OSP or adjusting hours is the best way to manage partial days in your payroll.
If you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊

Payroll UK - SSP Phased return to Work
Ability to enter SSP each day that hours are not worked under a "Phased Return To Work Order" signed off by a UK Doctor. Eg: Employees usual hours are 8 but they need to only work 5 of these under the Order.
Issue - Xero does not have this functionality - currently SSP can only be entered as full days, and consecutive days.
Please add this functionality.
