Anyone been off sick recently?

Post by wandle »

As per the title, has anyone been sick recently? Did you get paid? Asking for a friend who’s struggling with a heavy cold & doesn’t want to pass it to others :left:

I was off first two weeks of the year. First week self cert., second week sick note. No problem with pay. No hassle from manager. From the sounds of it i’m one of the lucky ones.

Bit of a coincidence, with the parliamentary quizzing coming up .. Have they asked Simon to come in for an informal chat regarding his sickness?

Nobody off sick at our place in the last six months, has had sick pay witheld.

I am pretty sure that if it was that easy to withold sick pay from people, they would have done it years ago.

Several people in our office have had sick pay withheld. All are pursuing claims via ACAS with a form they got from our CWU rep.
Hence the reason for my initial post

Some are being refused sick pay at our unit. Manager specifically used to make his own judgement call on each case. Has been for a few months
