Long Term Absence - Shift Allowance?

Post by jimmy1976 »

Hi All.

Simple query here.

Hopefully!

After how many weeks of being absent do you lose your shift allowance?

I was lead to believe that it was 8 weeks.

Please advise?

I can't find any official documentation outlining the guidelines.

Many thanks.

Thanks.

I guess I'll have to ring Sheffield then.

Think I've now been absent from work for roughly 6 weeks and my shift allowance has evaporated.
