From January next year, SSP is being phased in over four years, starting with three days payable per year in 2023, rising to five days payable in 2024, and seven days payable in 2025. Eventually, by 2026, employees will cover the cost of 10 sick days per year. The phased introduction allows employers to prepare and budget for the scheme and its associated cost.

So what do employers have to do?🤨 The SSP will be paid at 70% of the employee’s wage, subject to a daily threshold of €110. The eventual 10 days, or two working weeks, will be in addition to other leave and public holidays.
