Sick pay while on strike ?

Post by Graham21 »

How does it work ? I’ve been off this past week with the flu ( from Monday onwards ) do I get docked the strike days still or not? I read something a while back about it it wasnt the day before or after the strike you should get paid but I can’t find the document now . Side note I got a message to see if I was well enough to come back in today , I didnt but if I did would I of got the full pay still? Thanks

You should get paid whilst on sick leave.

Yes you should, and it's not for your manager to assume you were on strike and should be docked wages.
If your conscience worries you then donate the strike day's money to the CWU, or even something worthwhile.

Did it matter when you went back ? I went back the day after strike last week so I should still get paid them I assume ?
