Back pay

hollykay113

Hi I have been in hospital for 3 weeks. I worked one shift got sent home and this month I have been paid £30 to survive. If I got a sick note back dated would it be possible for the backpay to be paid to my bank?

Hi 

It all depends on if your employer pays sick pay but you may be entitled to statutory sick pay you need to discuss with your employer

To get ssp you need to earn an average of £120 per week or more and provide a fit note you can self certify for the first 7 days 

The first 3 days are not paid 

If you are owed any pay it is unlikely you will get this until your next pay day
