Employment Support Allowance

The employer form SSP1, which is used when an employee's entitlement to SSP ceases, will be re-designed to coincide with the change. The change should mean that employers will not need to include as much information on the new form which will be made available from October 2008.

One other change will be the removal of form SSP1L which will no longer be used. This is because periods of SSP with a previous employer will not count towards an employee's maximum period of SSP.

The changes are subject to Parliamentary approval.

If you would like to find out more or have any questions, we will be delighted to offer any help or advice. Please contact Peter Hogan at Darlington, Nicola Bellerby at Durham or Terry Doyle at York.
