Is there any waiting days before you start paying SSP?
A. Yes. there are waiting days before you start paying SSP.
Statutory Sick Pay isn't payable straight away. The first three qualifying days (days the employee normally works for you) of a PIW are called 'waiting days' when SSP isn't payable: SSP is payable from the first qualifying day after the three waiting days. However, if several PIWs are linked, the waiting days only apply to the first PIW.
