Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is the money your employer has to pay you when you are off work because of illness. Almost all employees who earn 95 a week or more (from 6 April 2009) are entitled to SSP for up to 28 weeks of sickness. Your employer is legally obliged to pay you SSP if you qualify for it. In addition to SSP, you may also get contractual sick pay as part of your agreed terms and conditions of employment. Your contractual sick pay entitlement should be included in your Written Statement of Employment Particulars.
