IHR question

Post by alliasjay »

Have been told it's around 8k according by management. Doesn't seem quite right. For someone who has worked at RM for around 6 years. Has this been reduced? Anyone able to shed any light? or they trying to pull a fast one or something?

Regarding holidays... what difference is made if someone has already taken most of their holiday in this year... part payback? or still get paid the rest of what is left?

Thanks for your responses.

The current ihr policy is on this site somewhere,I knew more than my lino and Dom during the whole process which made it easier,RM management seem to have no free reign .they had to keep checking back.

Once it starts its quite quick.

I'm on a 24 hour contract.

Have a feeling I probably owe a few holidays back but neither her nor there. Shouldn't be too much. Although I feel I still have a couple of weeks if I was staying. but that's not happening. So yeah... 8k... pulling my leg somewhat then. Should see me through the hibernation season.

I'm happy for it to just go straight through now. Still a few weeks until I have my oh docs appointment but that'll be the green light.

The agreement is here http://www.glosamal.co.uk/Docs/Group_Il ... nt_200.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

12.3 Retirement on Ill Health Grounds with Lump Sum Payment

Where an employee has at least one year’s service and meets the criteria for retirement on ill health grounds with a lump sum compensation payment, a payment equivalent to 34 weeks’ pay will be made.

A deferred pension will also be payable to all pensionable employees.

2.7 Calculation and Payment of Lump Sum Payments
The pay to be used for calculating lump sum payments is the basic weekly or monthly wage/salary of the individual’s grade (i.e. the rate of pay that they would have been in receipt of but for sickness absence or leave purchase arrangements) on the date of retirement plus any personal reserved rights payment and geographical supplement (e.g. London/RRIS) where applicable. No other elements of ‘pay’ should be included. Confirmation of inclusive elements within basic pay is available from HR Services.

Employees who are ill health retired with a lump sum will receive the payments within seven days of the end of the notice period irrespective of any appeal that may be lodged, unless they opt to defer receipt pending an appeal. If they receive the money in advance of an appeal, they will be informed at the time of payment that they will be required to pay back the lump sum, in the event that the appeal is successful and they are subsequently re-employed or gain ill health retirement with immediate payment of pension.

12.8 Annual holidays and notice periods
12.8.1 In accordance with existing provisions Annual Holiday should be taken in the year which it is due. However, in the event that an individual is unable to take their holiday entitlement due to sickness it will carry forward to the following holiday year (subject to 12.8.4 below)
12.8.2 Individuals on long term sickness absence may, with appropriate notice, take any outstanding holiday entitlement that they have, and receive normal basic pay and assigned allowances for such days.
12.8.3 Contractual annual holidays cease to accrue once full and half rate sick pay has been exhausted. They are replaced by statutory leave entitlements.
12.8.4 Where ill health retirement is authorised, the notice period will be extended to cover pro-rata contractual pay due during the leave year plus up to 5 days’ carryover leave from the previous year if appropriate.
12.8.5 The arrangements outlined within this section take precedence over any other agreed arrangements for the taking of annual holiday.
