Before I start I acknowledge that legally my employer is under no obligation to pay me sick pay.
But I've got to say I'm shocked to have just been paid and realise I've not been paid for the four days I was off sick.
I have never had a sick day before here and to honest I just assumed I got paid it as I have everywhere else I've worked but obviously not, this has never been told to me and my contract doesn't even mention sick pay.
I was off with terrible d&v for 4 days. I work in sales and have remote access (so that I can work from home all evening and weekend while still being paid minimum wage for a 40 HR week)
The days I was off sick I continued working from home when possible and made 3 sales during this time I was off sick equating to £57,000 profit for the company.
I still pay childcare when off sick, and on minimum wage living hand to mouth 4 days of no pay is a huge hit for me.
AIBU to think even if I'm off sick, if I continue working and make a lot of money for the company the least they could do is give me my f'ing £55 a day?!
