Sick pay

Post by Pinkelephant »

I recently signed myself off work for 1 week due to illness. My pay packet for that week has been docked. I think my previous sick absence was over 12 months ago. Is it a mistake that my pay has been docked? Any help appreciated.

You do on the 1st absence, I have been and you should be clear after a year, but these fuckwits will probably try it on

Normally sick pay is credited/deducted automatically.
The COM should just enter the fact you are sick into PSP and the payroll system should do the rest so it could be worth checking they have put in the system as sick (paid) rather than sick (unpaid).

It'll be at SSP rate though so a fair bit less than normal pay
