What are employer obligations for Statutory Sick Pay in UK?
A. As an employer you're responsible for operating the SSP scheme. You'll need to:
work out whether an employee meets the qualifying conditions
calculate how much SSP they're due
pay the SSP to them
keep a record of the SSP you pay
If you keep paying your employees their normal wage when they're sick - and you pay them at least as much as the SSP they'd get - you don't have to operate the SSP scheme.
You must put your sickness policy in a written statement of employment particulars and give a copy to all employees who have worked for you for at least a month.
