Sick Pay

[davidanthony]

I self certified myself I’ll with this darned fly thing and then got a doctors note for a further week
My employer says they will not be paying me ?!?!! Is this legal ?

[Buenchico]

fly? auto-correct, perhaps? flu?

>>>I self certified myself

Well it is very hard to self certify someone else !

[fiction-factory]

Does the company have a sickpay scheme and do they normally pay sick pay? If you are seeking statutory sick pay are they saying you won't get that?
I suggest you ask your employer for clarification of the reasons and then post them here for comments

when I queried this for a neighbour
the wages clerk said brightly
oh we pay SSP but not his normal wages !
and I said Oh or
I thought so

dave if your employer is this icky then you really should join a union. You need its protection

[Peter Pedant]

the employers end for SSP is here

blah blah if you are eligible - almost everyone is

or is he saying you are self employed ?
