Employers are no longer be able to reclaim SSP (Unless it is linked to COVID-19).
The Percentage Threshold Scheme (PTS), which allowed employers to reclaim Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) in certain circumstances, was abolished from 6 April 2014.  Under PTS employers could reclaim SSP where the SSP paid was more than 13% of the Class 1 NIC due for the month.

Perhaps it's time to look at terminating the individual's employment on (in)capability grounds, otherwise you will need to continue to pay their SSP entitlement (they are entitled to 28 weeks on SSP).
