SSP and Employee sick pay

Hi
I was unwell and off work in hospital and recovering at home from 30th April 2022 to first week of August 2022. I was paid the first 3 days full sick pay and then SSP after this.
After I returned to work I have some days off for residual recovery in Sept, Nov and Dec 2022. At what point would I have these days paid as my employer has been asking me to make up the additional time I had to take off work and not pay me any contractual sick pay. I can't seem to find a specific answer to find out when contractual sick pay is reinstituted and whether if I could not have made up all of these hours, that it will now be taken out of my pay this financial year.
Many thanks in advance

Your employer is obliged to pay you SSP after the third day of absence. Despite the name, the employer and not the government meets the cost. By the sound of it your company chooses to pay in full for the first three days?
Whilst a few company sick pay schemes are a hard and fast contractual entitlement, that is becoming far less common. Most are now "discretionary" and any details of timescales etc are a guide to their normal policy and not a guarantee.0 -
So they can choose not to pay me for any sick pay after I've come back to work if I've had SSP during the FY?0
