As far as I understand it you don't get sick leave in the first year of service, but you will get statuary sick pay after 3 days of abscence. Think its about 90 quid a week. Also if you go sick again after being on SSP within a short space of time (Not sure of the actual duration,) you will get SSP from day one. I think if you google ssp you will go to a direct gov website that will put you straight.
