Calculating days off sick when part tine

[Robinfeed]

I was off sick between November and January due to stress and anxiety. I work three days a week. I have missed 30 of my 'working days'.

However, my employer has calculated that I've had 50 working days off. Clearly this is based on a 5 day week and includes the holidays (I work in a school). Is that correct? Do they always include the full weeks (I guess so, the GP sick notes do) and holidays? I just wanted to check.

Have they actually stated days or a percentage - if you work term time only in a school it is usually 38 or 39 weeks work per annum, 10 weeks off would be almost a quarter of your annual time/salary if you are paid equally throughout the year.

I am NHS , full weeks are always calculated like this

Thanks - sorry, should have said, I'm all year round.
They have included the Christmas holidays in the total sick leave, calculated as days, rather than percentage.

Of course, I understand this is offset by accrued leave - I can still use my holiday - and I am really lucky to have this. I just wanted to check as the sick absence looks terrible and this is stressing me out as I want to move on, but realise this will not look good to prospective employers!

I look more at the episodes rather than the total if I am thinking of recruiting
So someone off on one occasion for 50 days
Rather than someone off 50 times for one day
Not same thing at all
Hope you are ok now

Thank you - that helps.
I am feeling a bit better thanks, but the issue of workload vs staffing is still there, so I am going to have to move for my sanity.
