It all depends on how your company does it.
Some using a rolling year to calculate sick pay1 -
cazzzie987 said:Hi,
So I have worked for a company for 13 months. I have had four weeks off sick due to injury with sick notes when I had been there for seven months.
It says I am entitled to paid sick pay that increases with line of service. It says 7-12 months: two weeks fully paid and two weeks half pay. After year 1 (in year 2) I get four weeks fully paid and the same half paid.
My question is if I go off sick again within the year would I get paid more than two weeks or is it a fresh start after year 1?
Thanks in advance
Sounds as if you've used all your sick pay entitlement until you've worked for the company for 24 months.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -

Whilst companies frequently allow staff who are off sick for longer periods to take holiday, so as to get some money coming in over and above SSP they don't have to. They are entitled to insist that you keep your holiday and use it in the normal way after your have returned from sick leave.0 -

My work has a brief statement about sick pay, and then a separate document in the HR policies full of how the calculations will be done and what happens if a relevant anniversary comes up part way through an absence. Basically, so long as they are offering more than the legal minimum (SSP) the employer can run their own individual rules so no-one here can tell you how it will work out because different companies are different.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

The key thing, I think, is whether they work this on a rolling year.
We do, which means that someone who has 'run out' of entitlement to CSP can start receiving it again if their period of sick leave spans the anniversary of their start date.
sometimes a nightmare to work it out.
However, as already stated, the OP needs to ask THEIR employer what the situation is.Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
This does come across as though you are planning to be sick again, as otherwise why the concern about something that is unlikely to happen.
Your company is able to let you go if they think that you’re off too much.3 -
