On long term sick

Post by acdawson »

Hi i am on long term sick and my manager has told me my pay will cease 24th july as i have had 26 weeks full pay and 26 weeks half pay. Going back to january when the full pay was coming to an end i was informed that i had 3 weeks holiday entitlement which i could take and would receive full pay.My question is as things stand as of 24th july i have only had 23 weeks half pay so am i due an extra 3 weeks to take it upto 26 weeks half pay? its all so confusing.

you get paid 26 weeks full pay and 26 weeks half pay on a 3 year rolling basis.

if you have had some other paid sickness in th elast 3 years that will account for your 3 missing ( half pay ) weeks.

No, a rolling period - the (in ANY) 4 years simply rules out any possibility of overlapping 3-year periods containing any sick absence.

If in the RM pension scheme you 'may' get sick pay at pension rate-No idea how much it is.
You also 'may' be entitled to ssp https://www.gov.uk/statutory-sick-pay/overview" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You 'might' of been entitled to ssp while you have been on half pay as well.
Then there is the tax credit adjustment.
Then there is esa https://www.gov.uk/employment-support-a ... e/overview" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

All the above dependant on your circumstance.

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.
