sick pay finished

27 Posts
my Sick pay from work runs out this month and I am in the process of claiming ESA, I emailed work telling them that I am unable to return to my job, this was no surprise to them as we have kept in touch throughout I also asked about holiday pay owed etc.
the reply I have got was.
Please, can you confirm if you wish to tend your resignation and if so from what date?
If this is your intention we can then pay across to you as your final payslip all holidays accrued and not taken up to your resignation date.
Now I'm sure this is fine and I am happy to resign as it will mean getting my holiday pay before Christmas, I just want to make sure I'm not tripping myself up by doing so.
Thanks in advance Chris.

However that is the only advise I can give as there is NOT enough information to advise on anything else.
My employer has sickness cover that means if you are off sick for over 6 months, your employment is terminated and you're given 75% of your annual salary as severance.
Read your contract of employment, or ask for a copy of the original.

You could let your employer go through the capability process, but then you'll have a dismissal on your employment record. Also, given that you've acknowledged you cannot return to your role, that process is not going to buy you much time at all.
thanks Chris
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

My employer has been putting pressure on me to take my annual holiday leave but according to ACAS, an employee can carry forward their entitlement for upto 18 months.

Now, this is all relative and if you need the money now, take it. Personally I currently have 36 days holiday owed and this will increase to 69 days in 2018, as I don't need the money now and would prefer the time off.
