Calculation of Illness Benefit

Employees, who are out six days on sick-leave, may qualify for Illness benefit payments.  These payments are taxable and the onus is on the employer to tax Illness benefit.  We ask you to scan/post a copy of any Department of Social Protection (DSP) letters relating to your employees. We will process the DSP payment in the employee’s next payment.  We will explain to the employee what and why we are processing.
