Chapter 3
How is it paid?
[ch 3: page 42]Employers should pay SSP in the same way as they pay wages, and on the same day on which they would pay your wages, for the period you are off sick.
You can get Statutory Sick Pay for up to 28 weeks. If you are too sick to work after 28 weeks, you should get a SSP1 form from your employer to help support a claim for Employment and Support Allowance.
