Sickness absence during notice period

[page 104]

An employee whose employment is ended for long-term sickness absence must be paid their full notice pay at their contractual pay rate, even if they have used up all their sick pay, so long as their contract entitles them only to statutory notice (section 87, ERA 96). See page 256 for statutory notice.
