Can someone answer this please

[Pegman]

My contract is PTtemp 28 hr 5 day week

Last week I worked Mon, Tues, Weds,

Thurs: phoned in sick; bad back

Fri: Scheduled day off

Sat : phoned in sick; bad back

Today my manager gave me a back to work interview, and informed me I would be docked 3 days pay !!! WTF

To my knowledge I don't get paid for my day off ?

Is he poor at maths or am I missing something

He's poor at maths .......

That is the way the system works.
You either have one absence of three days or two absences of 1 day each.
If you had gone back to work the following Tuesday he would have counted the Sunday as well.

clashcityrocker, i beg to differ mate. You can have one absence of three days, but he's only going to lose two day's pay. After all, he's on a five day contract and he's worked three of the days. Depending on what contract he's on, he may even get SSP for the two days.

Yes you are right.I didn't read the bit about being docked 3 days PAY.I thought he was just on about having 3 days on his record.

[Pat Ostman]

Yes 2 days pay lost, 3 days on record.

Unless the "bad back" was an AOD

[Exrep]

This is a new one to me chaps i allways thought that you got paid whilst on the sick unless you have used up all your sick days then you would qualify for ssp .

Can any of you explain to me why hes getting docked pay for being on the sick im rather confused.

What the feck is going on in R/M head the Fecking bankers.

The story ends with you having done 3days work that week. You are fully entitled to be paid for them. If you aren't paid tell them you are taking them to an employment tribunal. 3days absense will go on your record which is better than TWO seperate single days as the system counts numbers or seperate absences as well as total days off over a set period. Your manager is either simple and can't count or is trying a fast one to wind you up. Former is most likely.

When you are on trial you do not get paid when you're off sick - I fell foul of its after an AOD.

[opgpat]

Can only be because he has been there less than 6months or because he is temp?

[Exrep]

rrrr rite im with you now i understand didnt realise he was on trial thanks.

We av a F/T in our office been there a number of years but when ever he goes on the sick now he only gets SSP due to the amount of time hes had off sick.

[opgpat]

I'm guessing that's a recuring injury due to accident on duty? Otherwise they would sack him?

[Exrep]

I think hes covered under DDA but in 4 years he had 400 days off

[opgpat]

Oh right well if RM employed him and he made them aware of his condition they should honour their agreement and allow him the time off he needs. It's no loss to company if he only gets statutory and his NI probablly covers that anyway. Sounds like he could be in the wrong job though!! Like most managers.
