After 6 months it goes down to half pay.

Also the 6 months full pay is not for each year,it's over 4 years or something like that.

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.

someone at my office had 8 months off 2 -3 years ago, they no longer get sick pay but have been told it will start again in April, it's only been 3 years I think although I heard they had to wait 4. So prepare for atleast a couple of years with no sick pay mate.

Could I just ask if I'm understanding this right.

A for instance,

If someone was out for 3 months in 2007 and then another 3 months in 2010 that person has now run out of full sick pay.

It usually catches people out when they are off long term and expecting 6 months full pay.
Nobody tells them it's 6 months minus all of those sickies you've chucked in the previous 3 and a half years. :d'oh!

If you have an industrial accident or illness or you get attacked on duty then the 6 month rule doesn't count,i have a doc on it but can't seem to be able to upload it,will play around with it tomm.
