statuary sick pay

[toecrusher]

Had a major operation 1 month ago,so am off sick for several months. does anybody know how much ssp I will be entitled to? I work 16 hours per week and only pay very minimal national insurance contributions. I work for a private organization Thanks in advance.

[dot.hawkes]

if any of my staff are of sick they get company sick pay for 4 weeks if employed under 3 years, 8 weeks 3-5 years and upwards.
It doesn;t matter how many hours a week they are contracted to.
after that preiod of company sick pay I think they have to go onto statutory sick pay.

The current rate of SSP is �72.55 and will rise to �75.40 a week from 6th April this year. The difference in the earnings figures of �84 and �87 quoted by the sites in IAP�s answer is because they relate to 2006 and 2007 respectively
