The Rules From April 2026
Statutory Sick Pay is paid from the first day off sick, even for a single day. It is the lower of the weekly rate or 80% of their average weekly earnings.
It is paid for each day they would normally work, so someone working 3 days a week gets the weekly rate divided by 3 for each day.
Sickness within 8 weeks of the last time they were off links together, and pay stops after 28 weeks in a linked spell.
Average Weekly EarningsAdd their real average from your payroll on the absence for an exact figure. Without it we use their contract pay as a guide.
In the Payroll Export
Sick days and Statutory Sick Pay due show for each person in the payroll export for the pay period.
