Additionally, your employer can have a more generous sick pay scheme, but they cannot give you less than the statutory amount.These sick days can be taken as consecutive days or non-consecutive days and will run during the calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December.Workers’ sick leave payment must be paid at your normal daily rate. This includes any regular bonus or allowance which does not change from week to week. However, this excludes overtime or commission.
