With SSP the main things to remember are :
1) To qualify your weekly average earnings must be over £123
2) You must provide a sick note signed by your doctor or a healthcare
3) We can pay from the day you provide the sicknote. If you are off from the 1st but only send the paperwork on the 5th , we can only pay you from the 5th
When Does SSP Get Paid ?
SSP is paid when an employee is sick for at least 4 days in a row ( including non - working days )
A day cannot be counted as a sick day if the employee has worked a minute or more before they go home sick
If an employee has worked a shift that ends the day after it started and becomes sick during the shift or after it has finished , the second day will count as a sick day
