Hi lambchop999
I would advise you to accept their offer as no company is compelled to give you anything
In my job i'm lucky as i get at the moment, 26 weeks at 75% then drop onto SSP
The wife's company has just scrapped ALL sick pay due to employees taking the mick, funny how the few that were taking a week off every other month for years, are now fighting fit

A wise word of warning about contracts of work, they aint worth the paper their written on,don't rock the boat or you might find a newer one replaces it and a tenner says, it sure as hell wont be in your favour. Just take what's offered & bite the bullet

Whilst it may seem harsh after being with the company for so long as others have said they don't to offer any pay other than ssp, at least they have offered a little bit more

Many companies subscribe to UNUM or a similar insurance package. Your friend's company more than likely as this insurance. Your company are only obliged to pay SSP and nothing else.

The only compulsary pay is SSP. Anything over this is dependant on what is stated in your contract.
The norm is ............................sod all extra!
(Its got nothing to do with recession/job markets etc.....in the 20+ years Ive been doing payroll bureau work its always been the case. Infact you tend to find that where there is a variation its normally because the staff are salaried and its a trade off for them doing unpaid overtime when required)
-------------
It'll work out in the end!!!!
I didn't do it !! Nobody saw me do it !! You can't prove anything !!

Wow. That is shocking after 35 years service.
I get 6 months full pay. Had that with my previous & current employer.

We don't get paid for the first 3 days, then depending on service, I think it's over 5 years, I get 3 months full pay. Our company is very hot on people who take sickies. Many have discaplineries, but it's always the same people taking days off.

I get 6 months' full pay and 6 months half-pay, which is very generous. New staff get a lot less though, they changed the terms and conditions for new staff a couple of years after I joined (and reduced the pay at the same time!).
This may well change though, they're trying to reduce absence levels.
I feel really sorry for people who have low or no sick pay. If you're very ill, or have major surgery, you really don't need the worry of money troubles on top of everything else.

Topic: SSP
dropped dramatically once they moved to dispensing with sick pay just after I retired and the sick absence drastically improved.
