Statutory Sick Pay

[jewellerjim]

Just been signed off work for two weeks. I have 2 part time jobs, one pays sick pay and one does not. Earn £125 week from one that pays and £170 from one that doesn't - will I still be eligible for SSP from employer that doesn't pay sick cover

If your National Insurance contributions are assessed by adding the two salaries together, you're only entitled to one lot of SSP (which will probably be included within the sick pay from the relevant employer, so that will be all you'll get).

If you pay your National Insurance contributions on the two jobs entirely separately, then you're entitled to two lots of SSP.

Provided you are an employee and earn at least the lower earnings limit for National Insurance contributions (currently I think £102 per week) and fulfil some other conditions you may be able to claim statutory sick pay. But as Chris says this may be within the private sick pay scheme from the other employer.
If SSP is paid it is for a maximum of 28 weeks with no additions for dependants, taxable and administered by your employer, if you believe you qualify but this employer does not agree you can ask for a decision from the HMRC statutory payments disputes team.

ssp is pro rata so if u work part time u will likely get half the usual ssp, it works out £17 per full day that u work, example... i work 2 days a week so i got £34 per week for every week i was off paid on my usual pay day, im not sure about the other employer though sorry.
