If the sickness year restarts in April each year and she has exhausted her entitlement for April 2019-March 2020, then she won't be entitled to any more sick pay until April 2020.

OSP is normally on a per annum basis and might re-set with the financial year, holiday year or tax year; or it might be calculcated on a rolling 12-month basis so you don't re-set your entitlement until 12 months after the start of the absence that first triggered OSP.

The correct answer will depend upon the precise Ts&Cs. Is this teacher on burgundy book Ts&Cs or part of an Academy Trust, Free School or Independent School with its own Ts&Cs?

In reply to Robey:

In reply to Karen:
