Can I ask about sick pay please?

[princessmel]

Dh says he doesn't get it.

He's been off for 2 days now and is taking it as holiday or he will have to take it unpaid...

Only got 3 days holiday left till April.

Is he entitled to anything?
tia

Does he work full time, part time, contract, tenured, how long, etc etc

we need more detail

sorry

He works full time, got a contract.

been there 7 years.

my understanding is that everyone is entitled to SSP anything else is an enhancement.

It is not compulsory that any company has a sick pay scheme I'm afraid. And I believe that the Statutory Sick Pay only kicks in after 3 days.

If his contract or handbook doesn't say he is entitled to any enhanced sick pay scheme he will only be entitled to SSP, which as candlewax says, only kicks in after 3 days.

Incidentally the type of contract, hour and length of service are not relevant to SSP. You are entitled to it from day 1 of your employment. Or rather, day 4!
