How does Sick Pay work? Everything you need to know about UK Sick Pay!

[@wristopia4101]

Workers wages are generally based on a certain number of sick days, so you earn less per day because it's assumed you will take these days off. If you take them all off you are then fully paid. If you do not take any you are not only being under paid, but possibly doing your colleagues work who are off 'sick' (AKA Duvet Day). If workers were paid better they could manage their own sick pay via saving or buying insurance etc. Council workers often add their holiday allowance and sick pay allowance into one and take off the full allowance each year effectively as holiday allowance.

[@natureheals7]

Hi.. Thanks for the video. I have a doubt,if we have a duty on any weekends and takes sick leave on that day(sat or sun ),will we get the same pay which we get on wekends?

My company (according to their policy) doesn’t pay (first 3 days) sick pay to its hourly employees, but pays full sick pay to a salaried employees. How can this happen?
