Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is paid to employees who are unable to work because of illness. As an employer you’re responsible for paying SSP to employees who meet certain ‘qualifying conditions’.
You can use free SSP calculators provided by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to calculate how much SSP to pay an employee and to see if you can recover any of it.
Alternatively you can work out SSP manually, but HMRC recommends using their calculators as they’ll save you time and help reduce error.
