Contract Manager not giving SSP1 form

[Digital_2012]

Hi

 

I need some help, i am a casual worker and work for security company . Last year in December i had an accident and i was off sick more than 28 days.

 

My contract manager (now former) called me and asked me that i need to provide medical documents, if i fail to provide then they would not pay me sick pay.

 

I then provided him all medical documents like doctor's note etc but after that i did not hear any thing.

 

I kept asking him when he is going to pay but every time he made excuse and said that he will pay me in next pay date (monthly).

 

Now my contract has been taken over by new manager when i asked her about my sick pay then she said that i am not eligible for the sick pay.

 

I rang Employment and Support agency and i been told that they need SSP1 form filled in by my employer and also need to attach original medical documents.

 

They also said i am running out of time because its been log time when i had an accident.

 

I rang my company and asked them to send my medical documents back but they said they cant find them , i also rang my contract manager for SSP1 form and i was surprised when she said what is SSP1 form.

 

I explained to her that SSP1 form which employer has to fill in and send it back to the employee, she replied rudely that she is not in the office so cant check then put the phone down on me.

 

I dont know what to do i rang my surgery and they said they will provide back dated sick notes but i dont know what to do as my contract manager not providing me SSP1 form.

 

Any help will be much appreciated

 

 

Regards

Hi

 

E mail this to your manager (copy in HR/personnel/and anyone else you can think of)

State that despite repeated requests, they have not provided you with an SSP 1 which they have a statutory obligation to do. Tell them you require a response within 7 calendar days.

Hi Gbarbm

 

I already done that i sent an email with attached link and attached SSP1 to my contract manager and requested read receipt which she acknowledged.

 

My main concern is that i am running out of time and its been long time since i had an accident and AES can only pay me SSP backdated for three months.

 

My company never takes my requests and complains seriously i have sent them written complains as well so i am hopeless that they will solve this problem.

Hi

The thing is you've done all you possibly can. Make sure you keep copies of the emails etc to show DWP

Tell DWP that there should be no detriment to you as a result of your employers failure to undertake their statutory obligations.

Chances are that DWP will contact the employer and hopefully give em what for!
