    Brief

    The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) seeks research to evaluate the estimated impacts of Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) reforms scheduled to take effect in April 2026. This opportunity involves conducting comprehensive research and an employer survey to gather evidence on how these reforms will affect employers, employees, and the wider economy. Suppliers should have expertise in labor market research, survey design, statistical analysis, and policy evaluation. The findings will inform DWP's understanding of compliance, business costs, employee behavior changes, and broader labor market outcomes resulting from the SSP reforms.
