It is proposed to strengthen Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) by removing the Lower Earnings Limit (currently £125 per week) to make it available to all employees, and remove the waiting period so that SSP is paid from the first day of sickness absence (rather than from day 4 as at present).
This Regulatory Impact Assessment considers those proposals.
