Half-pay

Post by guswood »

I have been on sick leave for almost six months and there is no possibility of a return to work in the near future.
I am about to be placed on half-pay and I understand that I will be entitled to SSP aswell.
Do I have to apply for this or is it automticaly paid to me ?

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

one little point, its not in addition to your half pay, only if your half pay takes you below the ssp threshold then it will be topped up to the minimum ssp limit, so if your full time contract then your not going to get any extra
