ill health pay off

[unhappy postie]

does anyone no if you agree to a pay off through ill health how long it takes for you to get the money??? also what happens about holidays owed to you

[mazza111]

Mine was within 2 weeks. The days left on the week I agreed, couple of days hols and I was out, haven't looked back :)

If you sign on the dotted line on a Friday it's in your bank the following Friday normally.

i got mine a week after my last working day, (so the first friday of my freedom).

I'd recomend anyone thinking of Ihr to get in quick, once the privatisation wheels start turning they'l probably change the payment amount.
(and not for the better)

I think my husband will be given ill health pay off but we are worried it will not be enough to meet our expenditure. he has worked for Royal Mail for 35yrs. We are also worried that he will go onto half pay before they offer ill health retirement. Would any of you mind sharing your experience? My husband is ill through stress at work and grievence procedures are ongoing but Im dealing with them because he is unstable!

they have been trying to get me out for the past 18 months on IHR

its all right people saying take it but you need to look to the future

in my case i am 48 years of age and the payment will not last very long and most jobs are only minimum wage now.

only you can decide what is right for you, if you stay will the condition you suffer from be degenerative, can you live on minimum wage, do you have any savings,
but your long term health must take precedence

you cant make a decision like this on the spur of the moment, write down all your options, positive and negative

and do not let royal mail bully you into IHR

its your decision

Retirement on ill health grounds with lump sum payment means the cessation of employment as a result of serious physical or mental health ill health(not simply a decline in energy or ability) such that, in the opinion of Royal Mail Group or associated employer, the employee is, for the foreseeable future,( this is normally 9 months) incapable of ;

1) Carrying out his/her current duties

2) Carrying out such other duties for the employer as the employer might reasonable expect the member to perform.

The total payment for any individual with over 1 year service will be a minimum of 43 weeks up to a maximum of 52 weeks, I hope this is of some help to you in your dilemma.

its 34 weeks wages
12 weeks pylon (pay in lieu of notice) 10 year plus service accured
any outstanding holiday entitlement

pension frozen unless the condition dictates you will be unlikly to work again and what age you are

first 30 thousend is tax fee but outstanding holiday will be subject to deductions

May I clear up the misunderstanding, 34 weeks wages + 12 weeks PILON + 6 weeks A/L if applicable = 52 weeks pay
