Sick pay - how are months counted? Esp. in local government?

[vallee]

Does anyone know how two months would be 'counted' in relation to local government sick pay? For example, is it calendar months (say 5th July-4th September), or is it counted as eight weeks? Or 8.5 weeks?

Just looking online and it seems some places count a month as 22 working days, is this standard?

Hopeful bump

@vallee only your employer can tell you this. Either way the difference is going to be a couple of days at most.

It is usually one of:

• calendar months I.e. 28, 30 or 31 days depending on the month so 25th Feb to 24th June = 4 months
• 30 days a month for the first 2 months then 31 days and repeat so 3 months is 91 days
• Working days is different again you can use actual (20, 21, 22 or 23 days) or average 22 days
