Social Welfare Illness Benefit

If you are out sick for a period of more than 2 working days the employee must claim an illness benefit form from their local GP. This form must be stamped by your GP and sent to your local social welfare office. Payment of this benefit is dependent on the amount of stamps paid during your employment. If the employee receives a notification that their entitlement has been declined from their social welfare office payroll need to be informed of this as soon as possible.
