It depends on many hours, and how much he earns

but if she goes on long term SSP and they will not pay her SSP and she can get this confirmed,

then she can claim I.S. If she fits the criteria, eg single, capital under 16k

she will not get paid the first three days of her illness,

Wouldn't it be ESA?

Qualifying conditions

 

An employee must meet all the following conditions to get SSP:

• They must be your employee - and they'll need to have done some work under their employment contract before going off sick.
  
• The days they're off sick must make up part of a 'period of incapacity for work' (PIW) - explained below.
  
• The days they're getting SSP for must be qualifying days - these are days they normally work.
  
• Their earnings must be at least as much as the Lower Earnings Limit for National Insurance contributions (NICs). This is £107 a week for 2012-13.
  
• They can't have already received the maximum amount of SSP for the PIW - or for a series of linked PIWs (28 weeks).
  
• They must have notified you about their sickness - either within your own time limit or within seven days.
  
• They must give you evidence of their incapacity, if you require it.
  

In practice most employees who are absent from work because they're sick qualify for SSP. Part-time, casual and temporary employees can also get SSP as long as they meet the qualifying conditions.

An agency worker is entitled to SSP from the first day of their contract provided they satisfy all the other conditions for entitlement. However, they must have undertaken some work under that contract to become entitled.

You can read about how to work out if an employee earns enough to get SSP in the E14, 'Employer Helpbook for Statutory Sick Pay'. This also includes information on employees who are specifically excluded from the SSP scheme.

 

I found this link on the HMRC website so as long as your daughter has a contract of employment then yes she is entitled to SSP but if there is no contract then it will be ESA that she needs to claim

[MIKEY DABODEE]

If entitled to SSP but not paid full amount then I.S for top up

but if not entitled to SSP for any reason then its states ESA.

news to me

 

 

If you have no underlying entitlement to SSP, or if your occupational sick pay ends before 28 weeks you are not entitled to SSP, your employer must complete form SSP1 for you to claim Employment Support Allowance (ESA).

[MIKEY DABODEE]

good job becausenI enquired for you today with new claims and it was fifty fifty was it I.S or ESA.

If she has a contract and they say she is entitled to SSP but they will not pay it some said she would get I.S
