Statutory Sick Pay.
It doesn't really matter, does it? It's not a lot of money and besides, if someone's taking the proverbial with their time off, they're not paid for the first 3 days so it's no great impact on the business, is it?
Changes from April mean that SSP will become payable from day one of absence.
For employers, that means you will be paying someone for that day they couldn't be bothered to come in. For that Monday when they'd had a heavy weekend. For that Friday when they were going away and wanted to get an earlier train.
So yes, it does matter and from April, it's going to matter even more.
