Sick Pay Question

[Evelinajudo]

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?

They get SSP every day they were off sick as it is all after 6 April.

Obviously not for days they have used holidays for?

Well, they weren't off sick on those days, were they?

 

[Evelinajudo]

Well, they weren't off sick on those days, were they?

Technically yes but they opted to use a holiday instead

 

[DontAsk]

Technically yes but they opted to use a holiday instead

Why would they do that? Sounds like they weren't really sick to me.

 

[Newchodge]

Why would they do that? Sounds like they weren't really sick to me.

Because they needed the money?

Can't see that Cyndy they are on £13 an hour
When I was a lad ....

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

That is a different argument.

Yes, but they are now claiming to have been sick from day 1, so it's not about the money, they're happy to take SSP.
