There are two types of sick pay:
Company Sick Pay (also called contractual or occupational sick pay)
Statutory Sick Pay
If your employer runs their own sick pay scheme, it is classed as a ‘company sick pay scheme’ and you should be paid what you are due under that. If you are not entitled to anything under a company scheme, your employer should still pay you Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) if you are eligible. Details of your company sick pay entitlement should be included in your contract of employment.
