- SSP will be paid from day one of illness. SSP is payable from the first complete day of sickness (in previous years the first 3 days of absence from work due to sickness were classed as ‘waiting days’ during which no SSP was payable). Employees who are absent for one single, complete day of sickness (or more) now qualify for SSP
- The Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) is removed, meaning all earners qualify, with lower earners receiving 80% of their usual pay or the standard rate, whichever is less, alongside the new rate of £123.25 per week. The rule requiring that employees must be paid above the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) in order to qualify for SSP has been abolished. This change means that more workers will now qualify to be paid SSP.

- £10.85 for aged 18 to 20

Part-time workers who work regular hours, if for example, they work 3 days a week, they must get at least 16.8 days’ leave a year (3 × 5.6).
