What is SSP and OSP?

Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is the governments minimum level of pay for employees who are absent from work due to illness

Occupational Sick pay (OSP) , sometimes known as company sick pay , is where an organisation chooses to provide a contractual sick pay arrangement that is more generous than the Statutory minimum (SSP)

These will show on your payslip if you have been absent from work due to illness. Any OSP or SSP records with an asterisk (*) beside them relate to a sickness period outside of the current pay period.
