Sick pay during strike week
After testing positive for Covid , I had to phone in sick today. Manager replied to me saying I may not get paid as it is the day before the strike? Can anyone advise on this?

2.6.1. Sick absence that begins prior to industrial action
Normal procedures apply. For those employees already on self-certificated or medical certificated sick absence, it should be regarded as continuing absence. E.g. if the self-certified period runs out then request a medical certificate (fit note). If the employee does not provide a certificate, then the absence will be considered as industrial action.
If the employee subsequently provides a medical certificate to cover the absence, the sick absence should be regarded as continuing until the final certificate expires.
If an employee is already on certificated sick absence on the first day of industrial action such absence should be regarded as continuing until the final medical certificate expires.
Please note references to sick absence also apply to Other time off (special leave).

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Sick pay during strike week
I have phoned in sick this morning due to severe vomiting through the night and have just been told that they will not pay me for today as they 'do not accept' sick days the day before a strike. This is my first ever day of sickness since joining Royal mail 2 years ago. I can't believe that this is acceptable or within their rights?!
