I'm sure in the pay advice sheet we got with the last pay it said money would be deducted on Jan 25th for any absence over the xmas pressure period :cry

AFAIK and it may only be rumours around the DO but you only loose a certain percentage for each day sick. Wildcat strikes loose 10% so sick days will probably be less. The figure banded around my DO is 3-5%.


If you do owe anything they will take it from your pay directly on or about pay date 25th January 2008, but might be worth giving the pay people a ring to see where you stand.

Its based on the 4 weeks running into xmas. You lose 25% of bonus each week you are sick during that period.

The money is clawed back on 25th Jan

*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-eigth of the supplement.

There does not seem to be any abatement for less than a full week off sick.
