There is a daily rate that you pay if your employee is not due a full weeks Statutory Sick Pay. The daily rate is the weekly rate (95.85) divided by the number of Qualifying Days you use in a week. You can pay Statutory Sick Pay for up to 28 weeks in either a single Period of Incapacity for Work (PIW), or a Linked Period of Incapacity for Work unless there is a change of circumstances. If your employee’s linked PIWs span 3 years you need to stop paying Statutory Sick Pay regardless of whether or not you have paid the 28 weeks of Statutory Sick Pay.
