NCB Webinar: Avoid Costly Mistakes Under the New Sick Pay Rules
Date: Tuesday 17th March 2026
Time: 3.00-4.00pm (Approx 1 hour)

On 6th April we see major changes to Statutory Sick Pay which will impact your staff costs. Your employees will be entitled to SSP from day one of sickness, with increases in SSP rates, and more of your employees being eligible for SSP.

Now is the time to get clear on what the new rules mean for your business, what steps you need to take to ensure you are compliant, and ensure you have systems in place to minimise short term absence abuse! Whether you have an external payroll provision or run payroll yourself, as an employer you need to be aware of the new rules.
