In reply to Vicky. Thanks for your question, Vicky. There are a number of factors that will affect whether you receive SSP. Have you tried using the online calculator on Gov.UK as this will help you identify eligibility? Just click Calculate your employee’s statutory sick pay.

Hi I have been told I’m not entitled to ssp as my work have taken the last 8 weeks pay from the start of my sick line(23rd). And not the first day taken ill (taken to hospital17th) so when calculating my average wage over 8 week I only have 7 weeks paid work. They are saying this is correct. I can’t find a definitive answer online. Thanks

In reply to Paul Tomlinson. Thanks for your question, Paul. As long as you have it covered in your GDPR privacy notice and can justify a legitimate interest and have done an impact assessment then you are being clear and open on your reasons for doing so.

I am intrigued to know how Morrison’s is able to identify staff who have not been vaccinated? I wasn’t aware that you could even ask this question so for them to have collated this knowledge they must already be breaching their employees rights surely?

Comment on Uber loses employment status battle in the Supreme Court by Solutions for HR

Thanks for your question, James.

Worker status is that “middle ground” between self-employed and employee. The Uber drivers were found to be Workers because of their working relationship with Uber. I would definitely recommend a written contract although what’s written in the contract should reflect what happens in practice as otherwise, it’s not worth the paper it is written on!

Is it possible for an employer and an employee to agree to worker status in a written contract.
Is there any difference between that a zero hour contract.

In reply to Jo.

Thanks for your question.

Sorry I couldn’t tell properly from your comment which period came first.

If it was the first in March to June then the second in July to November then these are linked.

If it was the other way round they are more than 8 weeks apart so not linked.

This would mean SSP would start again for the second period.

Hope this helps.

In reply to Tracey.

Hi Tracey

Thanks for your question.

Entitlement to SSP is decided by applying the qualifying conditions to the first day on the first PIW, not the start of any later linked PIW, so providing you qualified for the first absence, you will for any further linked absences.

Hope this helps.
