Sickness question?

Post by kello22 »

I was off months ago, when I hurt my knee and only last week I had my keyhole surgery to fix it.
My question is, during my sickness, 3 bank holidays have been in that time.
Do you get them back, or do you lose them?

I thought you get credited with the days. Maybe I'm living in the last century.

your English bank holidays are incorporated into your overall annual leave entitlement and if you are sick at this time and have a medical certificate to cover it then these days should be credited back to you.
