  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations further amend the Statutory Sick Pay (Additional Compensation of Employers and Consequential Amendments) Regulations 1985, regulation 3 of which (determination of amount) specifies the amount to which an employer is entitled under regulation 2 of those Regulations (right of employers to prescribed amount) in respect of a payment of statutory sick pay made in the tax year commencing 6th April 1987.\nThese Regulations amend regulation 3 of those Regulations by inserting a reference to any tax year subsequent to the tax year commencing 6th April 1987. Regulation 3 as so amended refers to an employer’s entitlement in respect of a payment of statutory sick pay made in the tax year commencing 6th April 1987 or in any subsequent tax year.\nThe amount to which the employer is entitled remains an amount equal to 7 per cent. of the payment.\nAs these Regulations are made under section 9 of the Social Security and Housing Benefits Act 1982 they are exempted, by paragraph 15A of Schedule 3 to the Social Security Act 1980 (c. 30) and paragraph 107 of Schedule 10 to the Social Security Act 1986, from the requirement under section 10(1) of the Social Security Act 1980 to refer proposals to the Social Security Advisory Committee. They are therefore made without reference to that Committee.",
