Have any of you been unfurtunate enough to have statutory sick pay?, how does it all work.

I'm on it at the moment. My employers sort it for me though and I get £99 a week, which includes a small tax rebate.

I am confused, the website says £85 a week, works says about £120 a week, I suppose it depends on the company, and I also have my train season ticket to pay off!(£300 a month), I am up the the junction and the doctor won't let me go back to work, even though I want too.

No.

Went to the doctors this morning as I've had flu for nearly a week now and have been put on antibiotics. Already feel 80% better since I started taking them. Got a sick note from my GP, I want to get back to work now and hopefully tomorrow I'll be ready.

Good luck, I am off with stress.

Has the doctor officially signed you off and given you a certificate ? If not then you can return to work any time you like. My doctor told me to not work for a week at least recently but I took three days and then returned.

Check your contract. Some firms pay sick pay which is different to statutory sick pay. One firm I worked for paid your salary in full for upto 6 months per calandar year. Came in useful when I was off with my cruciate ligament. A lot will depend on the size of the firm.

My contract says 60 working days, I'm snookered.

Are you really saying you've been off for more than 3 months ? 60 working days is very generous.

No, about 30 working days but the doctor won't let me go back so it will be more than 60 days eventually, I have told her I am ready to go back to work but she just won't let me, I might have to get a 2nd opinion.

Stress - that's life - Deal with it and stop screwing your employee (and the taxpayer)

If only it was that easy kingcole, I am not screwing anyone, i have worked solid since the age of 16, so that's a bit of a harsh comment, maybe if I was as head strong as you i would be sweet , you don't my situation. That's life was one of my sayings and then one day any thing can land on your lap, I sincerely hope it doesn't happen to you.

I don't think a doctor can legally prevent you from working.

He can't stop you. If you feel ok then just restart work, but take it easy.

I had a meeting with work on Friday, they will only let me go back to work when I have been signed back on and to top it off they have asked me to go back and see the same doctor.
