Yes you will still be paid.
At the earliest opportunity you should inform your manager of your illness/injury which will give you the choice of moving from annual leave onto sick absence if you wish.
This will enable you to retain your annual leave for a later date.
Keep in reasonably regular contact with your manager.
Keep any medical evidence especially doctor's notes for your return to work.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

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.
