• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPSGB_ME060 - Employee has an SSP/SMP absence, but HIRE/FIRE doesn't exist for &1 ?

  The SAP error message HRPSGB_ME060 indicates that there is an issue related to an employee's absence due to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) or Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP). Specifically, the error suggests that the system has detected an absence for the employee, but there is no corresponding hire or fire record in the system for that employee.
  Cause:
  
  Absence Record Without Employment Record: The employee has an absence recorded (SSP/SMP) but does not have a valid hire or termination record in the system. This could happen if the employee was never officially hired in the system or if their employment record was deleted or not properly maintained.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be data entry errors where the hire or fire date was not entered correctly, or the employee's record was not updated properly.
  Timing Issues: The absence may have been recorded outside the valid employment period of the employee, meaning the system does not recognize the employee as being active during that time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Employee Records: Verify the employee's hire and termination records in the system. Ensure that the employee has a valid hire date and that there are no discrepancies in their employment status.
  Correct Data Entry: If there are errors in the hire or termination dates, correct them in the system. Make sure that the employee's record is complete and accurate.
  Review Absence Records: Check the absence records for the employee to ensure they are correctly linked to the employee's active employment period.
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the employee's status or how to correct the records, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for maintaining employee records.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the records, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, as there may be underlying configuration issues that need to be addressed.
