Hi

I am starting a new position soon, and we are finalising the contract

I am a bit confused about sick pay and holiday entitlement

My days of work will be Tues,Wed & Thurs
so no bank holidays worked this year,inc the xmas period

How many days am I entitled to ?

Also statutory Sick pay is apparently only paid after 3 consecutive days ?
so if sick for 1 or 2 days this is unpaid ? or taken as holiday ?!

Thanks in advance

Holiday entitlement for a 3 day a week job is 16.8 days. this can be rounded up (though doesn't have to be, but most reasonable employers would) but not down. It takes into account the bank holidays even though you don't work them.

If you are only entitled to SSP the 1st 3 consecutive days are unpaid, so you wouldn't be paid for the 1st 3 days and from the 4th day you would be entitled to £79ish a week.
