Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 6th April 1990, amend the rates of statutory sick pay. Regulation 2 increases the higher rate from £52.10 to £52.50 per week and the lower rate from £36.25 to £39.25 per week. In addition the earnings band is altered so that the higher rate becomes payale where the employee’s earnings are normally £125 or more per week (increased from £84 or more per week).
Regulation 3 contains transitional provisions for those employees who are incapable of work at the time of the change and would otherwise move from the higher to the lower rate of statutory sick pay.
Regulation 4 contains a revocation.
The Report of the Social Security Advisory Committee dated January 1990 on the draft of these Regulations which had been referred to them, together with a statement showing why the Regulations do not give effect to the Committee’s recommendation, is contained in Command Paper No. 961 published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
