Sick on the mouth of Christmas

Post by Warriorpostie »

I’ve been feeling ill all week, gradually got worse as the week has progressed. Felt myself taking a panic attack in the van today that I can’t go on. Scared to call in sick tomorrow as I was off last month with a neck injury.

You can be off more than once. Even getting a stage isn't the end of the world. If you need to go on the sick, just do it, your health is more important than a crappy job.

Just wondering what this means >> "Sick on the mouth of Christmas" ?

Please do not post factually incorrect statements, especially when its easily disproved.

You are either doing it through a lack of knowledge, which is easily dealt with by doing basic research and providing a link to prove your position. Or you are acting like a troll.

In either case, being a troll, or posting an inaccurate statement, is not welcome.

Eligibility for payment is linked to employment during the Christmas pressure period.

For each full week, an individual receives no pay during the pressure period ( eg unpaid special leave etc ) the individual will lose one-quarter of the supplement.

For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick pay pension rate, the individual will lose one-quarter of the supplement.

For each full week where basic pay is reduced for sick half pay, the individual will lose one - eighth of the supplement

For each day counted midnight to midnight excluding bank holidays on which an employee takes unofficial industrial action their supplement will be abated by 10%
for official action, it will be abated by 3%
