Statutory sick pay

[MrsGiraffe12]

Do employers have to pay ssp when staff are off sick or is it optional? I don't qualify for the company sick pay so would be reliant of statutory sick pay. Thanks xx

Qualifying requirements for SSP

Yes, they have to pay if you qualify but you don't get anything until you've been off for 4 consecutive days

SSP here

See, I earn over £111 a week but don't pay tax or NI. Does that mean I still qualify? Have been at company since September x

Yes, I think you are still entitled to SSP

Fab. Thanks. Am going to speak to CAB tomorrow to confirm this x
