    Statutory Sick Pay


    You should tell your manager you are sick at least four hours before the start of your shift or as soon as you can.
    You should speak to your manager in person and send an email to the store email address. When notifying your
    manager, you should advise them how long you think you are going to be off sick. For the first 7 days of sickness,
    you need to fill in a 'self-certificate'. You won’t be asked by us to provide medical evidence for these seven days.
    After 7 days off sick your manager will ask you to provide a copy of a fit note from your doctor. Copies of
    subsequent fit notes will need to be provided to cover your absence.

    What kind of sick pay might I be entitled to?


    Subject to qualifying rules, you will be paid statutory sick pay (SSP) if you're off sick from work. It is paid to you
    if you are off sick for at least 4 days in a row.

    If I qualify, how much statutory sick pay (SSP) will I receive and how is it paid?
    While you're on sick leave, the standard weekly rate for SSP is £ £99.35* per week (*March 2023). Statutory
    sick pay is usually paid on your normal payday directly into your bank account.

    Will I qualify for statutory sick pay (SSP)?


    To qualify for (SSP) you must:
    • have a particulars of employment (‘contract’) and have done some work under your contract
    • have been sick for 4 or more days in a row (including non-working days) – this is known as a ‘period of
    incapacity for work’
    • earn an average of at least £123* per week (*calculated over 8 weeks before you became ill)
    • provide your manager notice (at least 2 hours prior to your shift) that you are sick
    • provide proof of illness (i.e. a copy of a fit note), after 7 days off.

    When might I not be paid statutory sick pay (SSP)?


    You're not eligible for SSP if you're receiving statutory maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental pay.
    SSP does not have to be paid for any days that you are late in telling your manager that you are off sick (unless
    there’s a good reason for the delay).

    Do I have to pay tax on statutory sick pay (SSP)?


    Yes, statutory sick pay is treated as earned income, so you'll have to pay both income tax and National
    Insurance contributions on it in the same way you would on your wage.

    How long can you receive statutory sick pay (SSP) for?
    Statutory sick pay can be paid for up to 28 weeks. If your SSP has ended, or you don't qualify for it, our Payroll
    Helpdesk will complete and send you a form known as a SSP1. This form explains why SSP has not been paid or
    why it is ending, as well as the last date of payment.

    Do part-time workers get statutory sick pay?


    Yes, if you work part-time, you're still entitled to SSP. provided you meet the criteria of earning at least £118 a
    week, you should get the full amount of SSP, not a pro-rata amount based on your part-time work.

    Where can I get more information?


    If you have any queries regarding SSP, contact your People Manager or Business Manager.
