My Carer is sick, are they entitled to Statutory Sick Pay?

Almost certainly yes. There are certain conditions that your carer must meet in order to qualify for SSP and they will have to provide you with a note from their doctor if they are off work for more than a week. All you need to do is notify us of the days when they were sick and unable to attend work on their timesheet and we will do the rest for you.

Most Councils allow for an element of SSP payout in the ‘contingency’ fund that accumulates through the year and a few fund ‘enhanced’ sick pay for carers.
