    Your question has been answered. The factory if they don't have a company sick pay scheme, should pay SSP, if not, then you claim ESA from the DWP

    I really cant not believe anyone thinks about how much or little the sick pay is.

    All I would be thinking is how much am I getting for working not how much is it for not working.

    What if you cant get appts out of work hours.

    Then you will have to come to some kind of arrangement such as unpaid time off or annual leave. Some companies allow you to come in late and make up time later but you need to ask!

    Is it true alot of factories dont pay sick pay.

    what happens in that case

    also if your working full time what happens if you need the doctors or dentists.

    Have you ever worked full time or even worked at all?

    Was trying to fathom why anyone would ask such questions before starting work, hence why I asked if the OP had ever worked in their life.

    I would take it into consideration as part of the 'package'.
