Sickness during notice period
[ch 7: page 214]The law says that an employee off sick during the notice period is entitled to their normal full pay during that period, even if they have used up all their sick pay entitlement, unless they are entitled to contractual notice of at least a week more than the statutory minimum notice entitlement (section 87, ERA 96). See Chapter 10 for details of the statutory minimum entitlement to notice.
