  • Not providing sick/fit notes, not going to any meetings or appointments made with occupational health etc....

    Also how long does his contract say he gets his salary whilst on sick? With most companies it doesn't last forever and then you go on SSP.

    He has provided sick/fit notes and attended meetings but employer decided that he does not need to go to their OH. He got no sick pay at all from them it is the SSP that they stopped. :mad::mad::mad:

    How long has he been paid SSP? It doesn't last indefinitely. He may not longer be eligible.

    However, if that is the case, they should advise him of the reason they are not paying (that reason being "no longer eligible") and he can then seek alternative payment (via DWP perhaps?).

    In only very rare circumstances can an employer refuse to pay SSP. But there isn't enough information to give you any really useful advice. Have you asked the employer for a reason for stopping payment? And what is happening - why is he off sick and what has been going on here?

    He only got it for 2 months and the third month it stopped, other employees that have been off longer with back problems for a year with full pay, my hubby is not been treated fairly at all. :mad:

    Go to ACAS, they are really helpful.
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.
