FOI request

I would like to request copies of all current sick pay policies applicable to employees of your organisation. Specifically, I am seeking:

  • Copies of any documents, handbooks, or guidance outlining entitlement to sick pay (including occupational sick pay schemes).
  • Details of eligibility criteria, rates of pay, and duration of sick pay entitlement.
  • Any separate policies or variations that apply to different staff groups, grades, or types of employment (e.g., permanent, temporary, agency, or casual workers).

Decision

HSSIB adheres to the NHS Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions Handbook. This handbook outlines entitlement to sick pay, including details of eligibility criteria, rates of pay, and duration of sick pay entitlement

The handbook can be found here: NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook.
