The Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme Is Coming To An End

The Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme Is Coming To An End

April Foster

The Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) Rebate Scheme is due to close on 30 September 2021. The scheme was introduced to support businesses where employees were absent due to coronavirus. If you wish to make a claim or amend an existing claim, you have until 31 December 2021 to do so.

Please note that you can only claim the rebate for employees who were off work on or before 30 September 2021.
 
How much can I claim?
The rebate can cover up to two weeks of the applicable rate of SSP for each employee.
 
Am I eligible?
To be eligible to claim the SSP Rebate Scheme you must:
  • Be an employer with fewer than 250 employees.
  • Have paid SSP to employees for sickness absence or self-isolation due to COVID-19 until 30 September 2021.
For more information about the SSP Rebate Scheme and on how to make a claim, you can view the government guidance page here.

If you wish to make a claim, you can get in touch with your usual Moore advisor who can provide additional information or make a claim on your behalf.
