Department for Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 3 December 2021.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had with the devolved Administration on the adequacy of statutory sick pay.
SSP is a reserved policy within Great Britain. There is a well-established working relationship between the Department for Work and Pensions and the Welsh Government, ensuring that we work together on devolved and reserved areas effectively.
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) provides a minimum level of income for employees when they are sick or incapable of work. It is paid by employers at £96.35 per week for up to 28 weeks in any one period of entitlement. Some employers may also decide to pay more, and for longer, through Occupational Sick Pay.
