factorys and sick pay

Why someone would even think about asking that is beyond belief. If this is your attitude to work, it's no surprise you're unemployed. Your attitude is that of just another scrounger. I'm sorry to say it, but with an attitude like that, you deserve to be unemployed and why you even lurk on these forums is a mystery.

To answer your question, no, you won't get paid in a low end factory job for being sick (from experience).

I can't tell if these are trolling attempts from certain people, it sure looks like it sometimes.

You can report me for being harsh if you like, but it needs to be said. You can't complain about not being able to find work and then turn to a question like this for an interview. I hate being off sick to start with and will work through most illness. So I guess I think this just takes the !!!! to be frank with you.

If you are in the position of choosing between two jobs I think it is stupid not to learn about, and consider, the entire remuneration package and so far as you can the working atmosphere. Take home pay is not the only thing of value employers provide - pension, training, sick pay, maternity/paternity arrangements, flexible working, holidays all come into it. However, I agree for most jobs this would be better discussed with HR after the offer.

Sick pay is not valuable only if you are sick - at least not to me. If you want to value it financially a start would be looking at what an equivalent income protection policy would cost.

Yes, so if the OP was choosing between two jobs, that would be a great point.
