Employer Handbook for Statutory Sick Pay
When does payment stop?
Employee returns to work for you
You usually stop paying SSP when your employee returns to work. You should work out if any SSP is still owing to them for days of sickness before they returned to work and pay it on their next normal payday.
Maximum 28 weeks’ entitlement paid
If your employee is still off when you have paid SSP for 28 weeks, fill in form SSP1 and send it to your employee without delay. Your employee will need to use form SSP1 to claim Incapacity Benefit (IB) or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). If you know in advance that your employee will continue to get SSP for the full 28 weeks, you should issue form SSP1 at the 23rd week to ensure there is a smooth change over to IB/ESA.
