What does your contract of employment say? Many employees will only get paid sick pay at the discretion of their employers - regardless of the nature of the illness. Most employees have a right to receive Statutory Sick pay after they've been off 4 days, but that is only £75 approx per week for a maximum of 26 weeks. Some employers will not pay sick pay if the employee goes on sick leave having been asked to attend a disciplinary meeting shortly beforehand.
