Should you get taxed on SSP?

My girlfriend is currently off work and is receiving statutory sick pay of £79 per week. Should she be getting taxed off this?

She was supposed to receive £79 SSP today as well as a £80 tax rebait, yet her employer has only paid her £104 and claims the rest has gone towards Tax and NI.

Does this sound right?

    Erm, well she's been off work since the beginning of August, and she normally takes home £125 per week when she's working. I'm not sure when the tax year starts/ends?
