Qualifying Days (QD)

Qualifying days (QDs) are the only days you can:

• pay SSP for; and
• count as waiting days (WDs)

They are usually the days of the week your employee normally works. You can decide to have other days as QDs but must be agreed with your workforce.

There must be at least one QD each week running from Sunday to Saturday. Bank Holidays do not alter the normal pattern of QDs.
