Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) doesn't calculate for a second child
Description

After entering SPP details to an employee's record for a second child, you may find that there is no SPP calculating to be paid.

Sage 50 Payroll records how many weeks of SPP have been paid to an employee in their year to date values, if this value remains at 2 weeks paid from a prior child it must be removed to allow a new entitlement to calculate.

 NOTE: The same steps apply for Manual Adoption Pay.
