Closure of SSP Rebate Scheme

The Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme will close on 17‌‌‌ th ‌March‌‌‌
‌2022.
From this date it will mean that employers will no longer be able to claim back Statutory Sick
Pay for their employees’ coronavirus-related absences or self-isolation periods that occur after
this date, the ‌17‌‌‌ ‌March‌‌‌ ‌2022.

Employers do have however have until 24‌‌‌ ‌March‌‌‌ ‌2022 to submit any new claims for absence
periods up to 17‌‌‌ ‌March‌‌‌ ‌2022, or to amend claims they have already submitted if and where
necessary.

After the 17 th March 2022, this does mean that we shall be returning to the normal SSP rules,
which means employers should only pay SSP from the fourth qualifying day their employee is
off on sickness leave regardless of the reason for this sickness.
