Problem

An employee has returned to work before the end of the 39 week SMP period. How do I stop the system processing SMP?

Resolution

If you need to bring an SMP period to a close before the maximum 39 week period, after you have processed your final SMP payment:

Click once on the name of the employee down the left-hand side of the screen to highlight them.

Go to the “Employee” tab and click on the SMP button.

You should see a warning:

This employee has SMP already!

Are you sure you want to continue?

Click “Yes“.

Click the “Stop Payment” button.

You will be prompted:

“This will stop all SMP payments to the employee“

Click “Yes“

This will bring the SMP period to an early close.
