Employers Legal Boligation to pay SSP?
Is it an employers legal obligation to pay staff off sick, after the initial 3 days in lieu, SSP and then claim it back should they wish to, from the government?
Where I work at the moment we dont receive any kind of sick pay, either government or employer type and I wondered at the legal implications of them not paying us SSP. Do they have to pay us SSP or is it purely voluntary that they do this. I know they don't have to claim SSP back from the government but do they have to pay us SSP in the first place?
Any help appreciated, thank you

As far as I can see, they should pay it yes. Go to http://www.direct.gov.uk and click on employment, then on the 'pay' link and you get a link for sick pay. Sorry, I tried to post the link but this stupid site keeps giving me error messages.
