I work long shifts (in care) and recently had to self isolate due to my daughter having Covid symptoms and needing a test. Work confirmed I was not allowed into work until my daughter received a negative test, which resulted in missing 2 days of work (28 hours).
The company do not provide sick pay and, although there had been mention previously about potentially being able to use annual leave allowance this has since been declined. I was told yesterday that I would need to take it as unpaid leave.
I have since seen it mentioned that SSP now counts from the first day for self isolating if you isolate for 4 days, which includes non working days.
However, I was lucky in managing to book a test quickly and receiving the negative results back quickly. As such, I only had to isolate for 3 days, which work was aware of as I kept them fully up to date throughout. Due to my rota, I did not have another shift at work until 5 days after the negative test.
A I right in thinking I am not entitled to anything? Thanks in advance
