Disability Leave / Contractual Sick Pay

Starkey77

Hi, I’ve been notified by my employer that I will be going to half pay at the end of the month as the 6 month date has been triggered. 2 months of this was when I had my bilateral bone anchored hearing aids fitted. My question is, could / should this have been entered as disability leave and would this stop the clock with regards to contractual sick pay moving from full to half pay?

Thank you.

Hi there 

As Mike says it is all down to company policy as employers are not required to pay any sick pay at all other than statutory sick pay even for absence relating to a disability

So the fact you have a scheme paying 6 months full pay is generous in itself

Notwithstanding Janer's comment, I still wonder that Starkey has a point.     I guess I dont understand  what the point of disability leave is unless it stops the clock as Starkey suggested.
