I've been a postie for several years, but I've had to have some time off sick, and am just getting my basic 5 hours per day pay.
I've never done the basic hours, normally I'm in an extra 2 hours per day in the morning.
Someone told me that sick pay was your usual weekly hours, or is that just annual leave.

Is sick pay just basic hours, or does it include average overtime?

You will be paid your basic hours while on sick same on annual leave.unless you have done 8hrs a month for 6 months then you will hp while on annual leave.losing-it wrote: ↑21 Jun 2025, 16:20I've been a postie for several years, but I've had to have some time off sick, and am just getting my basic 5 hours per day pay.

And don't forget it gets worse, if you didn't manage 8 hrs ot in the rest of the qualifying period you were off sick in then that will negate your average holiday pay for any holidays you've got in the next six months.
