Key information on the Covid-19 Sick Pay Rebate Scheme, how much and how to claim

The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced the return of the Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme (SSPRS) amid 'eye-watering' transmission of bew Omicron Covid-19 variant puts pressure on staff absence

Deserted: Just a handful of commuters at Waterloo Station in south London, as the Omicron Covid variant in the capital surges.

The government is reintroducing the Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme (SSPRS) that was closed in September this year.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced its return as part of a £1billion business support package as firms struggle to stay profitable while Omicron keeps customers away and staff off sick or isolating.

Who is eligible?

This will be a temporary scheme to support employers facing heightened levels of sickness absence due to COVID-19.

Small and medium sized employers with fewer than 250 employees will be eligible for the scheme. They have to be 海角视频-based, employed fewer than 250 employees as of 30 November 2021, had a PAYE payroll system as of 30 November 2021 and have already paid their employees’ COVID-related SSP.

How much will I get?

The Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme (SSPRS) will refund small and medium-sized employers’ COVID-related SSP costs for up to two weeks per employee.

Statutory sick pay of £96.35 a week is paid by employers.

This two-week limit will be reset so an employer will be able to claim up to two weeks per employee regardless of whether they have claimed under the previous scheme for that employee.

How can I claim?

Employers can claim for COVID-related sickness absences occurring from 21 December 2021 onwards.
