Your £34k already sounds good to me. Reject the offer to lose your sick pay, it is not compulsory for you to sign the new contract, no matter what anyone else says.

why should any of the existing employees even know about what my contract says regardig sick pay?

Why should you know about what other employees' contracts say regarding salary?

And yet you know they are paid more than you ... so presumably people chat about that kind of thing - salaries, holiday, sick pay, etc.

because im the one joining their company - im the one whose hours they are seeking to bring into line with other employees hours

i havent chatted to anyone about it other than HR

You said £170 pa was a 0.5% rise, so you presumably earn £34k.

Just because one case went in the favour of the employee doesn't mean they all will and if there is a genuine business reason then there is a chance an employment tribunal will side with the employer.

Plus, it only cost the employer 2k in compensation....hardly a ground breaking amount that they will more than save in the long term.

i agree but previous rulings are usually a good indicator

i mean there are no real business reasons to get rid of someones sick pay other than saving money - and all companies would like to get rid of tuped employees beneficial terms and conditions if the tupe regulations didnt prevent them from doing so

Plus, it only cost the employer 2k in compensation....hardly a ground breaking amount that they will more than save in the long term.

depends how many employees take them to a tribunal. £2000 must be an absolute fortune to my company if they are opposing paying me the same when it means £170 extra a year
