Who is entitled to statutory payments?
There’s a number of different reasons why an individual may be entitled to a statutory payment including the following:
i. If an employee becomes a parent
ii. If an employee chooses to adopt
iii. If an employee is laid off
iv. Long term cases of illness
However, in order for an employee to qualify for statutory payments, they must be an employed earner.
As we have mentioned above payments may be required from an employer if an employee is off work for a wealth of different reasons and here is a closer look at some of those. It’s important that all employers familiarise themselves with the conditions associated with statutory pay.
Statutory Sick Pay
Many people fall ill at some point in their working lives, resulting in them unable to work for long periods of time. In instances where employees are off for a prolonged period of time, they are entitled to statutory sick pay which is generally payable for a period of up to 28 weeks.
Statutory Maternity Pay
