Sick Pay
I have just had this week off sick and am expecting to be off for another 6 weeks. I have only had 1 day off sick in the 5 years i have been working for the company so i am not that familliar with the sick pay policy. I beleive that i get full pay for 26 weeks. Is this correct?

Sick Pay
Hi.
I think you need to check with your area rep but as I understand it they calculate the 26 or 52 week period to include any sick time in the last 4 years,so for instanc if you previously have had say three months off in total over the last 4 yrs then you would only get three months now before you go down to half pay

Can anyone confirm what the score is.

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.

Roger is correct, I believe. We had someone at our office who was constantly off sick, a few days here, some more days there and a couple of long-term absences.
By the time they got him to Stage 3, he'd had a couple of sickies where he got no pay whatsoever, because - he let it be known - of having more than 26 weeks sick in under 4 years
