UK local government sickness schemes

Summary:

UK local government has some occupational sickness scheme rules that do not seem easy to implement. Looking for suggestions.

There are two local government sickness schemes which have awkward rules. Can anyone suggest how these can be implemented in Absence Management?

1. Teachers 5 day week, Monday to Friday counts as entitlement, not weekends. During school holidays, the sickness "take" should not increase at all, but if they are on reduced pay then payroll still needs to reduce their pay. If absence management is configured to consider the school holidays as zero duration in order to not increase the sickness take, payroll won't receive any sickness records for those days and therefore won't reduce pay.
