Information for agency workers
Can I get SSP?
From 27 October 2008 the restrictions that prevented payment of SSP to agency workers whose contracts are for 3 months or less have been removed.
SSP is payable to you in exactly the same way as it is payable to other employees, if you meet the qualifying conditions for payment. It remains payable while you are working on an assignment or are under contract with your agency. If you need more information, telephone HM Revenue and Customs Employees Enquiry Line on 0845 302 1479 .
How it works
Statutory Sick Pay is paid for every day you'd normally be working. It starts on the fourth day of any period of sickness and lasts for a maximum of 28 weeks.
If you get sick again within eight weeks of the previous period of illness, you can claim Statutory Sick Pay from the first day.
In some cases you can return to Employment Support Allowance/Incapacity Benefit if you have a linking letter and you are sick again within 104 weeks (two years) of your last payment of benefit.
If your employer has their own sick pay scheme instead of Statutory Sick Pay, you'll need to make sure you understand and follow the rules (which may be different from Statutory Sick Pay).
How much do you get?
The standard rate for Statutory Sick Pay is £75.40 a week.
