I have to say you are coming across as total arrogant in your responses.

It may be in your wife's contract but I suspect that given the world that we will be living in following thursday your wife may find that the trust will be looking to draw a line under her employment.

I would also suspect that new entrants into the NHS will be employed on less generous terms.

My previous employer had a 6 month full pay per tax year rule. It was amazing how many people went sick in October and resigned / retired on ill health the following October ! That one was quickly killed off when we were bought out.

That reminds me of a colleague many moons ago who went off sick with a 6 month full pay 6 month half pay scheme.

Company - not public sector - supported her during the (nearly) year she was off even though her friend admitted to me there was nothing wrong with her, she just found life easier being off sick especially as she had a little one than work full time.

Strangely enough a week before her pay was due to end she came back to work.

Thanks to people like your missus. The days of the NHS are numbered.

More money spent. More waste. More staff in it for wages, pension and perks than service.

You have just over half a month to go, before the money stops.

The NHS needs to have the best levels of sick pay as in my case I am off with stress. Being 55 having worked all my life and never had more than a couple weeks sick in the past, I'm on my 3rd week tomorrow. They have created my sickness. I know this is not always the case though. But the NHS will, in my experience, do everything underhandedly.
Sorry for jumping in.

Back to initial subject, yes manager can extend in exceptional circumstances, for instance, sugery was delayed and after that person gets surgery, they will be able to come back to their role.

Your wife doesn't meet this criteria. You are clinging on to anything to get still more money out of the NHS. She doesn't intend on coming back to her job any time soon, so has nothing to offer her manager. Why would she agree to extend on an already very generous entitlement?

I think her chances are nil.

So is my wife who gave up her job as a nurse a liar because she was no longer able to perform her duties? She could have got another 18 months work of money in her role but she chose not to as she felt incredibly guilty that she would be denying another person a job and was making her ward a nurse down, she didn't agree with reducing care quality.

Each to his own. How would she get a furhter 18 months though? Not aware of any NHS trusts that have more than the standard 6/6?

Yeh yeh yeh.

All her fault of course. How dare she get ill and not turn up for work. How dare she expect to get paid as well. Should be going to work for nothing and looking after the good ole nhs. Thats the problem with these nurses these days, not like the old days. Having an opinion too and sticking up for yourself - wrong it is.

Yes the money stops but luckily theres benefits now. Thanks for that. :-)

BTW. Before you start on that one, 15 years as a nurse (10 years other employment) paying tax I think shes paid into the system enough to feel that she might be able to get a little back now she needs it.

Try having a go at those who've never worked a day in their life?

EDIT: Just seen you're posting history. Hmm. You seem to make a bit of a habit of throwing the insults about matey. Always a few like you on this forum.

Fair enough. At last someone sticking to the point of the thread instead of solely using it to have a go.

Not sure about this wording though to be honest. Its not a choice she has, is it?
