As has been said there is no payment for the first three qualifying days. A qualifying day is a day that is normally worked so if only three days are worked then as has happened there is no payment for the first week.
When it comes to the second week there is an entitlement to 3 days SSP But SSP is defined as a weekly payment so if you have three qualifying days each week you should get 1/3 of the weekly figure for each day which means the full weekly SSP rate for the second and any future full weeks of sickness. If the sickness ended so that only one day was due in that week then that would be 1/3 of the weekly rate.
The current weekly rate of SSP is £92.05 so this amount should be paid as gross earnings for each full week (ie three days) off work.
Also if tax has been paid so far this year should also be a small tax rebate if on the normal cumulative tax code.
Thanks for the very concise explanation Chris.0
