SOCIAL SECURITY;TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

These Regulations suspend the limitation, set out in section 151(1) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act (Northern Ireland) 1992, that Statutory Sick Pay is not payable for the first three qualifying days in a period of entitlement. They also amend the Statutory Sick Pay (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982 (“the 1982 Regulations”) to specify when a person is isolating by reason of coronavirus is deemed to be incapable of work.
