Payroll & Auto-Enrolment
Statutory pay handled by a local firm: SSP, SMP and SPP
Sick pay, maternity pay, and paternity pay come with strict rules on eligibility, rates, and what you can reclaim. Get it wrong and staff lose out or you overpay. We match you with a local firm that handles statutory pay properly.
What's involved
What statutory pay (ssp, smp, spp) covers.
- Checking eligibility for SSP, SMP, SPP, and shared parental pay
- Calculating the correct statutory amounts and qualifying periods
- Processing statutory payments through payroll with the right tax and NI
- Reclaiming statutory parental pay from HMRC where you are entitled
- Applying small employers' relief where it is available to you
- Keeping the records HMRC expects for each statutory payment
Why it matters
Statutory pay rules change each tax year and the eligibility tests are easy to misread. Underpay and you have an unhappy employee and a possible claim. Overpay and you cannot always reclaim it. The right local firm calculates each case correctly and processes it through your payroll.

Statutory sick pay is set at a weekly rate by HMRC and paid for qualifying days once the waiting days are served. A local firm applies the current rate and rules to each case.
