Temp contract ends in two weeks - Broken wrist

[Deleted User]

6 month contract ends in two weeks. Today broke wrist and wont be able to work. Im guessing can get full pay for these last two weeks but after this, what happens?

Was planning to do ad hoc work (did this previous to the contract for same employer and some shifts alongside). Had some shifts booked for next month or two which can't fulfill now.

Would SSP be claimable in this case?

Here is a link, which should allow you to work out what is required.

I wouldn't be so sure that you will get full pay for the last two weeks. More companies these days are only paying SSP rather than any form of company sick pay. That is particularly true for new starters, which in effect you are, with a qualifying period before CSP kicks in.

I would think it unlikely that your employer will pay SSP beyond the date your contract ends. On what basis were the shifts beyond the contract end booked?

Depending on your household circumstances you maybe able to claim Universal Credit and Council Tax Reduction to help your finances.

10 year service in previous roles with employer so full sick pay for 6 months....

Two employments with same employer. The 6 month contract which ends and the zero hours ongoing contract.

So the shifts booked after the end of the contract were for going back to work more on the zero hours part. i.e. ad hoc shifts.

Some people only work permanently on the zero hours as a flexible resource.

Problem is I don't think enough hours have been worked on the zero hours contact. Generally, its been 20 hours per week on temp contract, then only an average of about 5 hours on the zero hours. Previously, it was 25 hours per week on zero hours (which would have been over the £115 a week - 5 isn't).

Other half works so won't get either of these. I guess I can get JSA contribution based?

Would be 'new style' JSA now if you do have to claim it. However obviously you are not a job seeker, you are temporarily unable to work. How long are you expecting to have to be off work?

In terms of the SSP I don't think it matters which contract you have been working under if you have an ongoing contract with the same employer, so if have been earning over £116/week in the lead up to your injury then i think you are entitled to up to 28 weeks SSP.

With regard to six months full pay because of your years of service have no idea how that would work when you on a zero hours contract.

Thanks. Its NHS and you get to retain whatever rights you accrue from length of service.

Same employer but thats the way they do it. You can have a regular employee number and also a "bank" number. Paid differently etc.

So I'm not sure what your question is. You seem to be saying you think you are entitled to six months "full pay". My question would be what is "full pay" on a zero hours contract. We're guessing here - you need to speak to your payroll administrator.. Does sound however that you will at least be entitled to SSP.

That's different. All you mentioned in the OP was a 6 month contract coming to an end.
