A FEW KINDS OF SICK PAY
- Occupational Sick Pay (OSP) which will cover all or part of your wages when you are too ill to work and is agreed in your contract with your employer.
- Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) which is a government mandated sick pay scheme.
If you have Occupational Sick Pay, please check your contract to see how much and for how long you are entitled to. If you do not have Occupational Sick Pay, please continue reading to figure out whether you are entitled to Statutory Sick Pay.
