Holiday pay while off sick

bikeit

I have been off work sick this past four weeks, I'm getting ssp, but Monday 29th August was a bank holiday and the company was closed this day is one of our annual holidays, am i entitled to be paid for this day, my employer said not a mission.

Hi there,
You would not be entitled to that day with regards to your SSP, because your company was closed on that day, so you would not have worked anyway. So instead of the £88.45 which you would normally get for a full weeks of SSP, you would only receive £70.76.
I hope this helps.

Are you sure? the day in question was a company holiday?

theoretica

Your sickness does not affect your entitlement to the statutory minimum of holiday days. If you only get the 28 days a year, including bank holidays, your employers must either pay you in full for the 29th, or give you the holiday day at some other time.

I doubt it would help anyone because it is entirely wrong. Theoretica is correct. Provided that the OP is able to take at least four weeks holiday in the year, It can be a choice either to allow another days leave at another time of the year and pay SSP, or to pay the full wage for the day (which SSP can contribute towards). SSP is not reduced by public holidays - that would be ridiculous. A public holiday is a working day - your wages are not reduced by a day because you don't work it. That is why they call it a holiday - holidays are days you get paid not to come to work.

I must be lucky working where I do - been off sick for the past six months, earned leave and just got 5 days of BH added to my leave record. on the minus side, they're getting rid of me in a couple of months as I'm apparently too expensive to run .... year off sick a couple of years ago and now this episode .... roll on November ...
