Help: rules and regulations regarding SSP?

chalkie99

The way I am reading this is that your employer is only liable to pay SSP but, as a gesture of goodwill, has until now paid normal salary.

Is it possible, in view of the general economic situation, they have now decided to pay only SSP in future? Although you quote other members of staff receiving full pay this, presumably, is for periods of absence now completed. If SSP is paid from the current time to all members of staf then the idea of discrimination is a red herring.

A small company with multiple absentees must be suffering unduly in the economic downturn and even large organisations are reviewing their previously generous conditions.
