sick pay at pension rate

Post by whisperstar24 »

Hi
Has anybody heard of sick pay at pension rate in royal mail being used?
A friend of mine has maxed out on her sick pay entitlement as she has been off a lot in the last few years. I have heard of sick pay at pension rate under other organisations where if you have no allowance left you can take this rate . This is payment of sick pay at the rate you would have been paid for your pension if you had been IHR. This is only paid for a max of 12 months but it is also only allowed if you are going to definitely be able to return to work and make a full recovery

anybody know if it applies in rm?
and what are the consequences for your pension?

No idea on implications or even details but there is mention of it in the Pay Directive Fishtank posted at http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... =1&t=41077" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; so it does exist - Best they contact HR for details.

RM do pay it 100%.

Best to ask HR as Tebbs said.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
