The Statutory Sick Pay (Rate of Payment) Regulations 1990
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).
