From 6 April 2014, employers will no longer be able to claim reimbursement for Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).
The Department for Work and Pensions is taking steps to abolish the Statutory Sick Pay Percentage Threshold Scheme at the end of the 2013-14 tax year. However, employers will still be required to maintain SSP records for Pay As You Earn (PAYE) purposes and will still have the obligation to produce SSP records to meet the legal SSP obligations, should HMRC require them. We will be keeping the necessary records for our clients and advising them as and when required.
