Employee's statutory rights must be incorporated in the employment contract including your company policy and procedures which they should follow.  Leave must be allowed for medical appointments or parental leave.  

Fixed Term Contracts
All employees will be treated the same for SSP purposes whether they are on fixed term or permanent contract - including those with contracts of three months or less.    All fixed term workers are  entitled to statutory SSP provided they pay the minimum National Insurance - i,e fulfilling the statutory criteria.  If you also offer an occupational sickness policy - this now applies to fixed term contracts.
