Error on page 16 of the Employer Helpbook E14 (2007) What to do if your employee is sick

We have discovered an error in the paragraph entitled You get a leaver’s statement form SSP1(L) on page 16 of the 2007 version of the E14 employer helpbook (PDF 47K).

The revised text is as follows:

You get a leaver’s statement form SSP1(L)

If a new employee falls sick for four or more days in a row within eight weeks of first starting work for you, they may give you a leaver’s statement, form SSP1(L) completed by their previous employer.

If the period between the first day of the PIW with you and the date at Date 2 on the form is 56 days or less, (that is eight weeks or less) you can reduce your maximum liability in that PIW by the number of weeks of SSP shown on the statement. Continue to pay SSP as you would any employee who has linking PIWs.
