With winter bugs doing the rounds, it’s worth knowing what the rules are about sick leave. So what are you entitled to?

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.

These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.

Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.

ON THE PIG'S BACK.

Linda from Henderson

Can anyone give me a sensible and valid reason for this scenario?

Can anyone give me a sensible and valid reason for this scenario?

Pensioner, who lives RIGHT next door to partner who is in a Rest Home gets a payment every fortnight on top of the pension, of $78.70 net for travel expenses. (2 mins walk).

Pensioner who has to travel several kilometres to see his or her partner by car or taxi gets exactly the same amount.

If this existed in a private business, it would be bankrupt in a very short time.

It is as easy as Googling the mileage, and setting the rate to suit.
