As per the article above, the WRC deal with such complaints. However, does you son want to go down that road? Perhaps another conversation with HR asking why they think 12 months and not 13 weeks applies in his case. It is possible the employer is unaware of the 2022 act coming into effect.so where do you go from here.
The company may claim that its sick pay scheme IN ITS ENTIRITY, is superior to the statutory sick pay scheme that would otherwise allow 5 paid days.I don't think your son is going to get anywhere with the WRC - they have already heard a similar case and your son's employer's scheme would probably be held to be better for employees overall.
Here is an article on their judgement.
I think it is just one of those unfortunate situations, not much consolation I know - on the plus side, in another two months he will be eligible for the full employer scheme which could well be 100% of pay from day 1 so it should only be a short term temporary issue at leastI understand that messyjoe but his payment from illness benefit only started after 6days so he's losing out twice.thanks again for your reply
If you still think this then, with respect, you don’t understand the point.I completely understand this point but surely if your not entitled to one your entitled to the other.
