Notification of Reversion to Statutory Sickness Payments (SSP) Letter

Notification of Reversion to Statutory Sickness Payments (SSP) Letter

This letter of notifying reversion of SSP can be used when contractual sickness payments are payable to Employees under the terms of an employment contract. Payment of the contractual payments will cease and revert to SSP at the end of the period, any SSP payments can be obtained at Gov.uk, statutory payments normally increase annually each April.

Discretionary payments can be withdrawn at any time.

This template letter may be used for this purpose.

As an Employer you have a duty of care toward your Employees whilst they are off work due to sickness/absence, this does mean that you should assist in the facilitation of their return to the workplace, to this you may wish or be able to make reasonable adjustment (where practicably possible).

Employers are not duty bound to do so but should try to accommodate where they can do.
