Note: Please bear in mind that this is a discussion board, not a place to advertise childcare vacancies or recruit childminders/nannies etc. We don't mind the odd mumsnet regular mentioning that they're looking for a job/mindee (although you're probably better off in MN Local) but repeated job "ads" and posts from nanny/babysitting agencies aren't fair to people who are paying for small business ads. Do feel free to report any you see. Thanks, MNHQ.

Advice and help please

Hi thanks for reading this thread!

I am wondering if statutory sick pay is the same amount for everyone??

I work just over 30 hours a week over 3 days and i need to find out if working less days etc means i am not entitled to the £70ish pounds everyone else gets!

Any help would be great! Thanks

I am afraid that SSP is only paid for normal working days: find out all about it here.

So you will only get 3/5 of the weekly amount of £79.15 if you are eligable for SSP for a whole week.

What's more, you cannot claim SSP for the first 3 normal working days you are off sick. So if you normally work Monday-Wednesday and you get sick tomorrow, you won't qualify for SSP until 16th November.

Special rules apply if your work pattern is irregular.
