    Hi, if this thread is in the wrong forum, I apologise, maybe a mod can move it?

    I really need somebody's advice on this matter. I have to explain the whole situation, so excuse the rambling!

    I'm in dispute with my previous employer over a weeks pay that i "think" that I am entitled to. I started with them on Jan 2007 and finished in Feb 2008. I was on a salary basis (paid monthly) with no bonus through the year! (which I was supposed to get!)

    I contacted him in relation to the missing pay and he said that as i was off sick in Jan 2008 for 2 days, which i had been paid for at the end of Jan, will be taken of the weeks pay and that the other 3 days where from the previous year. Can he do that? Can he go back over the year and a bit, even though i've been paid for them.

    Also, when on a salary is there a certain amount for sick days allowed? Its not that i'm mad for money but its the principal, no employer should be able to get away with not paying whats owed.

    I would really appreciate your input and advice!

    Thanks in advance
    Treewell.

    The amount of sick days that you're entitled to take while still being paid should be written into your contract. AFAIK, they generally don't roll from one year to the next.

    Have a read of your contract and see what that says in relation to sick days. TBH, it sounds like your employer is holding a wee bit of a grudge for some reason.

    If you need further information, then I'd advise you to contact the National Employment Rights Agency. They should help fill in the gaps.
