Question: How do I claim statutory sick pay?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Check if you can claim back Statutory Sick Pay paid to employees due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: What you can claim
section_content: The repayment will cover up to 2 weeks Statutory Sick Pay starting from the
first qualifying day of sickness, if an employee is unable to work because
they:

have coronavirus symptoms
are self-isolating because someone they live with has symptoms
are self-isolating because they’ve been notified by the NHS or public health bodies that they’ve come into contact with someone with coronavirus
are shielding and have a letter from the NHS or a GP telling them to stay at home for at least 12 weeks

You can claim from the first qualifying day your employee is off work if the
period of sickness started on or after:

13 March 2020 - if your employee had coronavirus or the symptoms or is self-isolating because someone they live with has symptoms
16 April 2020 - if your employee was shielding because of coronavirus
28 May 2020 - if your employee has been notified by the NHS or public health bodies that they’ve come into contact with someone with coronavirus

A ‘qualifying day’ is a day an employee usually works on.The weekly rate was
£94.25 before 6 April 2020 and is now £95.85. If you’re an employer who pays
more than the weekly rate of Statutory Sick Pay you can only claim up to the
weekly rate paid.
Use the SSP calculator to
work out the actual amount.
Records you must keep
You must keep records of Statutory Sick Pay that you’ve paid and want to claim
back from HMRC.
You must keep the following records for 3 years after the date you receive the
payment for your claim:

the dates the employee was off sick
which of those dates were qualifying days
the reason they said they were off work - if they had symptoms, someone they lived with had symptoms or they were shielding
the employee’s National Insurance number

You can choose how you keep records of your employees’ sickness absence. HMRC
may need to see these records if there’s a dispute over payment of SSP.
You’ll need to print or save your state aid declaration (from your claim
summary) and keep this until 31 December 2024.

You can claim back coranvirus-related Statutory Sick Pay using the online
service.
If you use an agent who is authorised to do PAYE online for you, they will be
able to claim on your behalf.
Employers who are unable to claim online should have received a letter on an
alternative way to claim. Contact
HMRC if you
have not received a letter and are unable to make any eligible claims online.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has brief but relevant information about how to claim statutory sick pay during the pandemic.
It gives the viewpoint of an employer here, it does NOT give answers regarding how an employee or worker gets paid. Please add that detail.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't have any information about how to claim statutory sick pay. Entirely off topic.
It gives some detail. Much more is needed. What if you didn't register for PAYE yet, how do you reach them?  Give a sort of broader answer.
