I don't know but six weeks seems optimistic. But I reckon he'll be keen to return to work sooner rather than later if getting SSP. It's a bad one for wfp'ing. Can't he do some ground floor trad work?
I dislocated my shoulder about 7/8 years ago playing football. I was working as a labourer at the time and had 6 weeks off. Doctors said it was ok to go back to work. 6 months in I was in lots of pain so had physio. Another 6 months went by and I finally got a scan, it was quite bad so had to have an operation. I decided to get back into sales so I could at least work after the op. A year after the first operation I had to have a second operation.Window cleaning does aggravate it quite a lot and I have to keep reminding myself to pole differently, because they left it so long I was using my shoulder blade differently and get aches with that now. We're really busy at the moment so I am on the tools more but I try to do less which helps. He needs to get a scan done (NHS will try not to do it as it costs them so much money and fob him off with physio). He could potentially be off a fair bit more if he has torn his rotator cuff, nasty injury :/Tom
Just got back from a 2 week holiday in Florida this morning. Got a text from an employee this afternoon, he has dislocated, and torn ligaments in his shoulder playing football, and will be off work for a minimum of 6 weeks . I am obviously a bit worried it will be longer than this due to the nature of WFP'ling, has any WFP'lers had this type of injury? and are there likely to be ongoing problems due to the rigours of poling and carrying a back pack by the handle? This may also interest those of you who are considering employing. I think I will have to pay out SSP of £87.00 per week. This of course can be claimed back but it is a ball ache all the same.

you probably know this - but you may not get all your ssp back - its used to be linked to nic contributions but I am sure there were some changes from April this year here is a quick search but as always do your own research, I may be incorrect..http://elsbyandco.co.uk/employers-will-no-longer-be-able-to-claim-ssp-from-6th-april/#.U9SxHeNdX84
I've just re-read what you've written. He's buggered. It sounds like he's torn a ligament off the bone. That'll require surgery. He'll be out a long time. A year most likely if that's the case.

Like you said, it used to get deducted from your PAYE bill, now a believe it gets deducted from your tax bill, so will take longer to recoup the money and even then am not sure if it's 100% tax deductible.

I have been told by my accountant that this issue is a big bone of contention for small businesses who like myself employ part time workers .
You no longer get ssp back but you have got a £2000 ni deduction so it should even out ok...
