The Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme (SSPRS) will close on 17 March 2022.

Employers have until 24 March 2022 to submit any final claims, or to amend claims already submitted.

From 25 March, normal Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) rules will return, meaning employers will start paying SSP from the fourth qualifying day their employee is off work, regardless of the reason for their sickness absence.
