Subject: Sick pay policies

Question:

I would like to request copies of all current sick pay policies applicable to employees of your organisation. Specifically, I am seeking:

Copies of any documents, handbooks, or guidance outlining entitlement to sick pay (including occupational sick pay schemes).

Details of eligibility criteria, rates of pay, and duration of sick pay entitlement.

Any separate policies or variations that apply to different staff groups, grades, or types of employment (e.g., permanent, temporary, agency, or casual workers).

If the information is available in digital format, I would prefer to receive it electronically by email.

Our response:

Please find our Sickness Absence Policy attached. There is no other guidance. Please note, this policy is currently under review. A new policy will be published in the coming months.

Please contact us if you require this in a different format.
