Blue dragonfly: “next month I’m on half pay, I’ve just made an appointment to see bank manager later this week to see if I can work a financial plan till I can go back to work. I shall be on stat pay before i get back. Someone said just go back for day then you get pay back, but im not sure.”
At my firm, I get an ‘entitlement’ of 4 weeks’ sick pay per annum, then nothing. So even if I went back for a day, I wouldn’t be able to get paid again until I had worked a year and had less than 4 weeks of sick off that calendar year. The details for you should be in their Sickness/Absence Policy which should be on your company’s website or should be in your contract of employment.
