Tables for linking Periods of Incapacity for Work for Statutory Sick Pay

How to use these tables

For example, your employee has a PIW beginning 16 June 2008. To find out if this PIW links with a previous one, go to the June column and find 16 in the column ‘First day of PIW’. Now move across to the next column ‘Previous PIW links if on or after’ to find the date in line with 16 June. This date is 19 April 2008. If your employee had an earlier PIW and the last day of that PIW was on or after the 19 April 2008 the PIWs link.

You can now use the CD-ROM SSP calculator to help you work out SSP payments, or for the Internet calculator, go to www.hmrc.gov.uk/calcs/ssp.htm
