When does sick pay end?

The OP is blessed with corporate sick pay rather than just SSP so the company make the rules. I believe he needs to get hold of the detailed rules.

The 6 months I am allowed off on full pay is inclusive of my leave. If I am sick and miss 2 trips offshore (4 weeks working), I am still 'sick' for the 3 week leave between those trip, which is fair enough I believe.

Rather than just being the leave between trips, I suspect they look at sickness as blocks of 5 weeks - if you miss the 2 weeks you should have worked, they mark the entire 5 weeks as sick. They don't really care if you are sick or not when you aren't supposed to be working. But if (for instance) you only worked every other trip offshore for a year they would want the record to show 6 months sick, which would mean counting half your onshore leave time as sick.

We have something similar in my work handbook - if you are sick Monday to Friday they mark you down as sick for the weekend following too.

I absolutely agree. Its the companies own rules that count. You need to check if payroll/HR have applied their own policies correctly. If they have you have little option but to try and negotiate a repayment schedule.
