sick pay and sundays

Post by hans solo »

why is rm count sundays in with sick leave
heard today this is not a national procedure
if we are off sick our office counts sundays as sick leave if off for a week and you return say wed they count sundays
if your off for months they count sundays
surely if they are counting sundays we should be getting paid for it?????
does this practise happen all over are rm abusing sick leave on sundays as enablers to stick stages on people
any advice welcome

Sunday is counted as sick if you're not fit for work on Monday. So if you rang in on Saturday and said i'll be alright to return to work on Sunday but obviously most of us don't work on Sundays and you return on Monday then it would not be counted.
CUT OFF!!!

because of the law surrounding sick leave and sick notes: https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Employees must give their employer a doctor’s ‘fit note’ (sometimes called a ‘sick note’) if they’re off sick for more than 7 days in a row (including non-working days).
