Chapter 8

Employees off sick during the notice period

[ch 8: page 310]

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, as long as their contract entitles them only to statutory notice (section 87, ERA 96). See Chapter 10, page 344 for details of statutory notice.
