Hi,
I have went off sick as of yesterday with work related stress. Today is my 1 year service. I have received a letter today that sates as of yesterday I will receive no pay. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does company sick pay kick in automatically? Am I entitled to sick pay as of today as I have now reached my 1 year service?

I have. My rep didn't know. Thats why I posted here on the off chance someone might have been in a similar situation.

Ask him to contact the Area Rep for advise

You are entitled to contractual sick pay after 12 months service.
Although it should kick in automatically I would suggest that you contact HR to make sure that it does.
The number is on the back of your payslip.
The rep/area rep will likely just tell you the same.
