statutory sick pay

Statutory Sick Pay
(abbr. SSP)
An employer is obliged under the Social Security Act 1992 to pay Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for the first 28 months of absence if the employee has been incapacitated for four or more working days. Employees self-certify for the first seven days of absence but thereafter a Continuation Form should be sought from the employee's General Practitioner. Statutory Sick Pay can generally be recovered by an employer through deductions from National Insurance Contributions.
