Are you entitled to full sick pay
whilst I am off work recovering?
There is no automatic right to get
full sick pay whilst off work.
The first place to start when
trying to determine whether you will get full sick pay whilst off work is to
look at your contract of employment.
It may be that any sick pay scheme
is mentioned. Or it may be that the employer may use their discretion and
make a payment depending on what has happened.
If you discover that there is no
sick pay scheme in operation then you should at the very least be entitled
to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). This is paid from the fourth day of any period
of illness or injury and lasts for a maximum of 28 weeks. This is paid for
each day that you would normally and usually be working and works out at
£70.05 per week.
