half pay

Post by rio »

Does any one know if us posties receive delivery supplement or RRIS supplement whilst on half pay. I go onto half pay after my foot op on August the 4th. I am trying to work out what income i am going to get. I asked my Lino and he told me to ring HR. They shut at 5 and i am struggling to get hold of them.
Does any one also know if i am entilted to SSP on top of half pay.
thanks

Yes, if you are entitled to SSP you will get it on top of your half pay.

When you are near to going on half pay they should send you a form (i think it's about SSP) to fill out.
Contact HR to see where it 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.

You will get SSP on top of your half pay. £81 I think.

But SSP runs out after 28 weeks. So you need to be aware of when SSP started. I think you get a form from DWP telling you about it and when it will end.

good luck

SSP is the minimum amount of sick pay that should be paid and most of it is claimed back. Company sick pay is up to the employer, RM chooses to pay half pay + SSP (if the employee is still entitled). SSP is only payable for 28 weeks and then a form will be sent to claim for incapacity benefit.

You'll receive the form when SSP entitlement is about to run out not nesseccerily when you go on to half or no pay.

It can be quite complicated to work out when your SSP runs out or when you go on to half pay if you've had more than one absence. Try your best to get through to HR so they can check your absences and calculate the the right date of half pay and when your SSP expires.
