Correct SSP calculation for Casual employees

At the moment the SSP calculation does not work for casual employees who do not work every week. As the SSP rules are changing from April to pay SSP from day 1 and to pay at least 80% to everyone, we are expecting our SSP claims to increase dramatically.

We therefore have to manually calculate SSP for casuals.

Can the SSP calculator be improved so that casual employees SSP can be calculated correctly if they have missing weeks when they are on hold.
