@indeed_uk: Taking time off for work-related stress or burnout is legally protected in the UK. These are your rights. Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, Statutory Sick Pay is now a day-one right with no waiting period, paying 80% of your earnings or up to £123.25 per week. Being signed off due to stress is treated like any physical illness, ensuring you are protected while taking time to recover. Source: gov.uk
