Company sick pay process

Laura

Hi,

My new company has asked me to look into getting company sick pay - currently everyone including the executive team only get SSP.

Can anyone explain the process - I don't believe it's the same as a company income protection scheme; correct?

 My previous company gave all managers 10 paid sick days per year (clearly triggers kicked in after a certain amount of absence). This was managed by payroll, so I don't know how it was set up.

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Many thanks Laura :-)

  • In a previous company there was a neat but simple system.
    Staff default position was to pay unless instructed not to by the MD.
    Hourly paid started with a default of no pay unless:
    The rules for longer serving employees kicked in (and no reason not to
    or not paid unless instructed by the MD to do so.

    I would start with a small basic entitlement with discretion to pay more. Very few people get beyond 10 days in a year.

    Thanks Peter.
    Would a company need to set up an income protection scheme to implement this? Do you know how a company would financially be protected by CSP? Sorry, I've come from a global organization therefore was never involved in these things before. My new company in basically a start up (no one has been in HR in the UK since 2015). Many thanks
