Did You Know?

From April 2026, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) has been updated – with changes to both the weekly rate and eligibility thresholds.

For employers, that means:

✔️ Reviewing payroll settings
✔️ Ensuring compliance with the latest legislation
✔️ Communicating updates clearly to employees

It might seem like a small change, but staying on top of SSP updates helps avoid costly mistakes and keeps your payroll running smoothly.

At Your Payroll Team, we take care of these updates for you – so you don’t have to worry about missing a thing.
