Hello
Can anyone tell me if SWT trainee drivers qualify for sick pay when off? (employed for less than 6 months)

Thanks

Read your contract, I very much doubt if you will be paid any sick pay for the first 6 months of service

This, It was six months for me before I was entitled to any sick pay when I joined the company. But that was nearly six years ago as Revenue Protection so it might be different for Drivers.

Most TOC's don't pay sick pay for the first 6 months. Remember you're probably on probation during this time and they can terminate your contract quite easily. If you're really sick then you can't help it, if you're a bit sick then get to work if you can.

Hi,

Definately no sick pay for the first 6 months with SWT.

Hope you feel better soon.
