I have an employee who has been off sick for a couple of weeks.

I Let them use holidays for the first week then they came in for a day then back off work.

Employee has today brought in a sick note dated from the very first day off sick

When should I pay sick pay from?

    Please could you give actual dates.
    Did they ask to use holidays for the first week? What dates were they on holiday and what dates are on the sick note? Which days of the week do they work?

    Ok, 40 hours @ £13 is £520. SSP is £123.25. (Both for a week)
    If this was a private forum I would say that some of these people are not worth 13 pounds a day
