Getting paid whilst you’re unwell
If you are sick within your probation period, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will be paid by the company, however it will only be payable if you are ill and unable to work for four or more days in a row. The first three days of sickness are counted as ‘waiting days’ and the SSP is not payable, unless there is a linked period of sickness, and is payable for a maximum
of 28 weeks and is treated as a taxable income.
Following successful completion of your six-month probation period, where appropriate, you will be eligible to receive company sick pay for a maximum of 15 days per holiday year. This will be pro-rated for those Team Members joining or leaving during the holiday year. Any amount of SSP for which you become eligible will be incorporated within your Company sick pay and is not paid in addition to full normal basic pay.
Any company sickness payment will be subject to compliance with the Sickness Absence policy and procedure.
