Statutory Sick Pay Due To Coronavirus Update

Changes have been made to the guidance regarding sick pay due to Coronavirus (COVID-19). It now includes information about employees who have transferred under the TUPE regulations.

This scheme is for employers. You can claim back up to 2 weeks of SSP if:

you have already paid your employee’s sick pay (use the SSP calculator to work out how much to pay)
you are claiming for an employee who is eligible for sick pay due to coronavirus
you have a PAYE payroll scheme that was created and started on or before 28 February 2020
you had fewer than 250 employees on 28 February 2020 across all your PAYE payroll schemes
