SSP: What counts as a normal working day?
Client worked five days a week. 4 of these were ‘normal’ in that he worked 7 hours in each day. But he also worked another day for only 2 hours. Can I count this as a working day for SSP purposes? Thanks for any help!
Are you looking for Qualifying Days? I’ve been looking in to this and I don’t think I’ve seen a more horrible subject. Like nailing jelly to a wall.
Guidance for employers used to be in the E14 helpbook, an old copy of which remains on a law site, but not on gov.uk, which now has some pretty useless pages instead.
The E14 book may help you.

Thanks very much for this, very useful document, although it doesn’t appear to mention whether the number of hours worked in a day affects qualifying day status. I guess a 2 hour day is still a qualifying day unless I can find something to the contrary.. Thanks again
