Not sure if anybody can help, im not sure where to find a clear cut answer.
I’ll sit my questions to try and make it easier as I have a few.
- If I have to isolate because I have symptoms and I have company sick days left to use, can my company force me to claim ssp instead? Because it’s less money.
- How do you claim ssp, is it through your employer, do you have to do anything eg fill anything in or is it automatic.
- I’ve read about being able to claim ssp after 1 day by obtaining a sick note through 111. Has this changed as I know they’re advising against calling 111.
- If my children are off beciase school closes I assume this will be unpaid leave.
- If one of my children develop symptoms and we all have to isolate will I get sick pay (see question 1) beciase technically I’ll also be in isolation but not sick. Info I’ve read says yes but I’m not sure.
Thanks
