Hello,



I'm a care worker who looks after two elderly people in their own homes. I do 2.5 days with each patient every week. Last December I had to have eye surgery, and due to complications with the procedure I've been off work on statutory sick pay (SSP) ever since.



After the unsuccessful surgery I told each employer about my health situation. The agency for one of my patients put me on SSP straight away. The other employer told me that as I had already applied for SSP through my other job first I didn't need to apply for it again through them. Is this correct?



For each job I was earning around £550 per month before tax and other deductions. Am I therefore entitled to two lots of SSP (one from each 2.5-day job)?



I would call HMRC but it's Easter and they probably won't be open.



Thanks,



Mark
