Christmas bonus if off sick?

[1984]

Been off sick for 3 weeks, and will likely be off for another 2 weeks

Does anyone know if I still get the bonus?

Thanks

If you are on full pay yes. If on reduced pay you loose a bit.

You will still get £100 Christmas bonus and £100 colleague share thingy even if you are on sick unless like said above you are on reduced pay.

For each full week an individual receives no pay during the pressure period ( eg unpaid special leave etc ) the individual will lose one quarter of the supplement.

For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick pay pension rate the individual will lose one quarter of the supplement.

For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick half pay the individual will lose one - eighth of the supplement

Not on last years if anything is to go by I would not encourage false hope for someone if I were you and delude yourself and others.

Do we have a definitive answer on this? Ive been off for around 4 months, signed off by my GP. My current sicknote runs out at the end of December. My GP will sign me off again then. I will not be at work at all in December but Im on full pay. Will I get anything bonus/payment at all?

If you are on full pay you will get your Christmas bonus

No you don't the agreement states quite clearly you only lose a percentage of your christmas bonus if you are on reduced pay, which is half pay or no pay or you have taken unpaid leave or industrial action

But they could still claw it back as you were not available for work.
