SSP Waiting Days Calculator
Based on the default pattern below, a typical entitlement is 7 days. Adjust the inputs for your exact figure.
Your entitlement
7 days
How it's worked out
10 qualifying days − 3 waiting days = 7 payable days
Audit note
The 3 unpaid waiting days apply once per period of incapacity for work — they aren't reapplied if this absence links to a previous one within 56 days. This is the number of payable qualifying days, not a pay amount.
Stop tracking this by hand
Statutory leave dates and balances are easy to miscalculate by hand. Tempry tracks every type of leave against the right statutory rules automatically, so notice deadlines and remaining balances are never worked out on a calendar again.
Free forever for teams up to 15. No credit card required.
How this calculation works
Track how much of the 28-week SSP ceiling is left, when a new sickness absence stops linking to a previous one, and how the 3 unpaid waiting days apply — duration and dates only, not the pay amount itself.
