Sick pay - what's normal in the charitable sector?

AvocadosBeforeMortgages

Perfectly normal in any industry. Speak to an Independent Financial Adviser about putting an Income Protection policy in place.

If you're moving jobs, deduct the cost of the Income Protection policy when you're weighing up your old and new salaries.

Thanks; I've had a look and a comparison site seems to suggest something in the region of £17pcm.

Do Independent Financial Advisors charge you for the work or is it a commission based thing? I've never used one and it's the sort of thing I have down in my mind as being for people rather wealthier than I am!

People need to take responsibility for themselves. Even if on enhanced SSP it usually only lasts a few months. For long term sickness you need to have insurance in place.
