    Its hardly breaking news that SSP is considerably less than most peoples salaries, surely this isnt a shock.
    well taken ssp 1 time since started working as far as i can remember 
  • I have NEVER taken it yet I know its not much, I assumed the whole world and his dog knew the same.

    so best to stay at work then take  SSP as not help in the long run  give cv19 to others then take sick leave 
    You could get hit with a fine for doing that. And I don’t think your boss would be too happy either.

    FYI#People will be required by law to self-isolate from 28 September, supported by payment of £500 for those on lower incomes who cannot work from home and have lost income as a result.

    Can he? I thought that only applied if you tested positive or have been told by Track and Trace to isolate, dont think either of these applies to the OP.

    Or another way of looking at.  Say you earn £1500 and your commute costs £25 a week

    You stay at home:
    SSP: +£191.70
    Loss of pay: -£714.28
    No commute: +£50
    Difference: -£472.59

    You go to work and get caught (best case scenario - you're caught after working for two full weeks)
    Getting paid: £714.28
    Commute: -£50
    Fine for being caught not self isolating: -£1000
    Difference: -£335.72

    However, the worst case scenario is actually you go to work and get caught on your first day meaning you only get one day's pay, you get the fine and for the rest of the week and the following week you get SSP anyway.

    We need to work out who has actually told him to isolate, fine only applies if NHS Track and Trace have told him (and obviously they have to find out)
  • Seems to be a new rule.
