The online service for employers to claim back coronavirus-related Statutory Sick Pay is now available.
You must keep records of SSP that you have paid and want to claim back from HMRC – and keep records for three years after the date you receive the payment for your claim. You can claim for multiple pay periods and employees at the same time.
The Government warns that online services may be slow during busy times.
