Question regarding sick pay

Post by jd9442 »

Having just transferred to a new delivery office, I was recently on the sick for 3 days.
The manager has advised me I don't get paid whilst being on the sick.
I've been with the Royal Mail 4 years now.
Is this correct?

No that's a lie.
You get full contract sick pay for 6 months.

Assuming there was no break in service, then no it isn't correct.
Unless you left RM and then got another job at another DO?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Erm as far as I'm aware it was just a normal transfer, done through success factors and all...

Does the manager who told you this know that you transferred from another office?

Maybe he thinks you are a new starter?
