# The Statutory Sick Pay (General) Regulations 1982, Regulation 6: Calculation of entitlement limit


(1) Where an employee's entitlement to statutory sick pay is calculated by reference to different weekly rates in the same period of entitlement..., the entitlement limit shall be calculated in the manner described in paragraphs (2) and (3), or, as the case may be, (4) and (5); and where a number referred to in paragraph (2)(b) or (d) or (4)(a)(ii) or (d)(ii) is not a whole number, of thousandths, it shall be rounded up to the next thousandth.
(2) For the purpose of determining whether an employee has reached his maximum entitlement to statutory sick pay in respect of a period of entitlement, there shall be calculated—
(a) the amount of statutory sick pay to which the employee became entitled during the part of the period of entitlement before the change in the weekly rate;
(b) the number by which the weekly rate (before the change) must be multiplied in order to produce the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (a);
(c) the amount of statutory sick pay to which the employee has so far become entitled during the part of the period of entitlement after the change in the weekly rate; and
(d) the number by which the weekly rate (after the change) must be multiplied in order to produce the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (c);
(e) the sum of the amounts mentioned in sub-paragraphs (a) and (c); and
(f) the sum of the numbers mentioned in sub-paragraphs (b) and (d).
(3) When the sum mentioned in paragraph (2)(f) reaches 28, the sum mentioned in paragraph (2)(e) reaches the entitlement limit.
