About this episode
Starting April 6, 2026, UK workers will receive statutory sick pay, regardless of earnings, with no waiting days. Low-paid workers previously excluded will now benefit. The payment is 80% of average weekly earnings or £123.25, whichever is lower. Millions, especially part-time workers, will gain faster financial support. For ongoing illnesses, specific rules apply, with recent cases or breaks in absence qualifying from April 6. Current recipients switch to the new rate, with lower earners protected by the flat amount. Employers and workers should review updated guidance for compliance.
