Company sick pay structures

Hi All,

My company has recently been bought by another company and all T&C's TUPE's over. I have now been asked to look at the T&C's we offer to new employees specifically the company sick pay entitlement as this was very generous under our previous employer.

I wondered if anyone would be willing to share their sick pay structure so that i can benchmark my proposals.

thanks

    Just purely rough / anecdotal from past experience but would think most employers (80% or more?) do (quite rightly IMHO) pay at least some significant contractual sick pay on top of the pittance that is SSP. And that most private sector employers limit the entitlement for recent / new employees and increase it for long service ones.

    Would regard maximum entitlements of eg 3 months full pay followed by 3 months half pay as generous and far more common in the public sector. Blue chip . / big private sector employers rather similar but smaller employers less and often a lot less (maybe around half that typical for them) or totally discretionary.
