Sick Leave Act statutory parameters
\text{Normal Daily Wage} = \frac{\text{Gross Annual Salary}}{52 \times \text{Working Days Per Week}} \\
\text{Applicable Daily SSP} = \min\Big(€110, \text{Normal Daily Wage} \times 70\%\Big) \\
\text{Total Employer SSP} = \text{Applicable Daily SSP} \times \min(\text{Sick Days}, \text{Remaining Statutory Days}) \\
\text{Statutory Annual Entitlement} = 5 \text{ Days Per Calendar Year}Under the Sick Leave Act, employees with at least 13 weeks of continuous service and a registered GP medical certificate are entitled to up to 5 statutory sick leave days per calendar year. Employers must pay 70% of the employee's regular daily earnings, subject to a statutory ceiling of €110 per day. Absences exceeding 5 days may be covered by the DSP Illness Benefit scheme.

Yes. Under the Sick Leave Act, you must be certified by a registered medical practitioner (GP) as unfit to work from day 1 of the illness in order to qualify for Statutory Sick Pay.
Once the 5 statutory days are exhausted, employers have no legal obligation to continue pay unless provided by your employment contract. You can apply for DSP Illness Benefit (paid at standard adult rate of ~€244/week) subject to your PRSI contributions.
If your normal daily wage is €250, 70% would be €175. However, because the legal cap is €110 per day, your employer is only legally required to pay €110 for each statutory sick day.
