Employment Rights BillContribution
Clause 9 in its current form amends section 157(1) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 so that the weekly rate of statutory sick pay in Great Britain would be the lower of £116.75 and a percentage of an employee’s normal earnings to be set out in regulations. This amendment, together with the Minister’s other amendments to clause 9, would mean that the weekly rate of statutory sick pay in Great Britain would be the lower of £118.75 and 80% of an employee’s weekly earnings. The change from £116.75 to £118.75 is to account for annual uprating that is expected to come into effect on 6 April 2025.
