Sick pay guidelines

Post by TheStrangler »

Can someone clarify the following:
1 Once you are off sick for 6 months you go on to half pay.
2 You're then entitled to statutory sick pay in addition to half pay
3 How do you claim ssp , do you claim yourself or is it automatically paid by Royal Mail who then claim it back off the government?
4 Once you've had a total of 12 months sick pay you're no longer entitled to any and can only get ssp?
5 if question 4 is correct what are the guidelines for qualifying for any sick pay again?
I read somewhere that you're allowed 1 year in 4 years , therefore does that mean after a year off you'd need to work 3 years before becoming entitled to sick pay again?
Thanks for any help with the above.

If in the RM pension scheme you may get sick pay at pension rate.Contact HR.
Also if applicable you could also get a tax credit adjustment, less pay per week = more credits.

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.
