Recording Statutory Sick Pay

By law, you must pay statutory sick pay to all employees who are off work due to sickness and qualify for sick pay. Your Sage 50 Payroll contains the most up to date legislation and simplifies processing sick pay by automatically calculating SSP for you.

As a temporary measure, absences relating to COVID-19 are paid from day one and the Coronavirus SSP Rebate scheme is being reintroduced in order to support employers with increased levels of sickness absence due to COVID-19.
