How long can my fella have off?

Post by Jenny Manchester »

Does anybody know how the long term sick works please? My fella has been off work for a month recently, then he came back for two weeks now a specialist has told him he has to a further six months off because of his condition. Has it got to be six month period in one or will that month count and he has only five months left, asked in the office yesterday nobody seems to know?

yes six months full pay and half pay for the other six months so if you had one month then you have 5 month of full pay left i believe you cant repeat this again within 4 years

I didn't realise it was full pay indefinitely if it is an AOD, i was led to believe it was 6mths full pay, then 6mths half pay.

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.
