SSP query

mc25

Employee phones in sick on a Tue, so he is off (Tue, wed, thur) then on friday goes to the employer and hands his notice in and give a weeks notice (dont work on fri too), he dont work the rest of the week as he claims off sick as well, is the employee entitle to the 6 days ssp. That is the previous wk fri (as the waiting days served on Tue Wed & Thur) then the week he was meant to be working his notice but is off sick?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I *think* that if you're working your notice you are technically working same as normal, so I'd expect normal SSP applies if he's fulfilled the criteria.

Payroll aint my strong point though

Dcollins

sick pay

Statutory sick pay would be payable, assuming the employee has provided a sick note. You should refer to the employee's contract before making a decision, there may be additional provisions for sick leave, or giving notice.

Not paying the employee could lead to a claim, so be careful.

Why not call the MIP helpline if you're unsure?

Hope that helps

Mosoon thanks for your reply, I do payroll but all this small things which crope up you always get stuck, the only doubt I have got is employee did not produce SSP sick from the doctors only printed the SC2 from HMRC website and filled it in, I could have thought we do actually need a confirmation from the DR confirming this, unless I am wrong..... or with the form he has completed does he qualify for ssp??

Is there still the online calculator on hmrc website? I seem to remember using this when I used to do payroll.
Agree with A-Vic, don't need Dr's note for first week, but as he works 4 day week (Mon - Friday) is the week of notice his second week?

Just learnt the employee is an apprentice, I gues this does affect if he gets paid the SSP or not???
