Linked Periods of Sickness

If you or an employee have regular periods of sickness, they may count as ‘linked’  To be linked, the periods must:

  • qualify for SSP by lasting 4 or more days each
  • be 8 weeks or less apart

You’re no longer eligible for SSP if you have a continuous series of linked periods that lasts more than 3 years.
