Everything employers need to know about SSP
This is the statutory rate set by the government. You can pay more (company sick pay) but not less if the employee qualifies for SSP.
This is the Lower Earnings Limit. Employees earning less than this don't qualify for SSP. Calculate using average earnings over the last 8 weeks.
No SSP is paid for the first 3 qualifying days of sickness. Qualifying days are the days an employee normally works.
This includes non-working days. For example, sick Thursday-Sunday = 4 days even if they don't work weekends.
Employees can get SSP for a maximum of 28 weeks. After this, they may be eligible for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
Employees can self-certify for the first 7 days. After that, they need a fit note (sick note) from their GP.
