Chapter 7

Sick pay

[ch 7: pages 64]

An employer must provide employees with details of their sick pay entitlement as part of the written statement of employment particulars within two months of the employment start date. Sick pay rules do not have to be included in the written employment contract. Instead, they can be recorded in a separate document given to the employee.
