OP I presume you are a working in a store for a few months/ couple of years if so Tesco dont pay sick pay to people in the store.

However I know from experience you need to keep a close eye on your hours especially if you are doing over time as they will generally try and short change you!

Do you clock in and out?
You can request a printout of your hours for the week and check whether you're being paid correctly.
As with any hourly paid job you should keep a note of your times youself anyway, these systems are far from foolproof.

As for sick pay, I don't know Tesco's policy but they are under no legal obligation to pay you when you're off sick. You need to get a welfare cert and claim for the time you were off.

if somebody now right units for my problem please send some phone number

Go to the union rep and ask him/her to speak to the manager on your behalf..

The union didn't seem that interested so its probably not in your contract and it would be down to your mangers descresion if you get paid or not. If he has said no, forget and move on or find another job.

kulamario

personal manager say me i bring medical certificate too late

Oafley Jones

I worked in Dunnes for 5 years - part time flexi but still worked 36 hours - and never received any sickpay. Medical Certs were still required for absences over two days but only full time employees would be paid for those days. I'm pretty sure Tesco had the same policy.

kulamario

no is not
tesco pay for sick for everyone but not for me
in tesco store u have first 3 days with out pay but rest days of your sick time will be pay for 100%

kulamario

i had pay sick last time but not this

kulamario

Bold and red text is not going to get your point across anymore than normal text..

If you feel your union rep is not doing enough for your case then raise it to the union itself.. Cant remember who it is maybe Mandate or SIPTU.. Thinking more towards Mandate..

Contact them and say your shop representative is not helping...

From my experience working in Tesco i know the trouble with wages.. Even though we clocked in the hours were still wrong..coupled with the fact we didnt even have a proper personnel manager!!

From whom exactly? Do you think Tesco gives a toss if you lived here for 6 years or 60?

*sigh*

First of all this is in the wrong forum, so moving it.

Second of all, I'm going to give his person the benefit of the doubt - that is he is genuine and not a troll. His command of the english language may give people the wrong impression. But
kulamario if you spout anymore racist crap like this again I'll boot you out without warning.

No, I think this is what union delegates call a "frequent flyer", rather than a troll.



OP - when did you give your medical certificate to Tesco? If it wasn't until you returned to work, then probably what the manager says is right. If you don't send it in on time, they don't have to pay you.

Not getting paid for the hours you work is different. You should ask the union delegate to go and see the Store Manager with you, to help you explain the problem. Even if the union delegate isn't sympathetic to you, they will want to have everyone dealt with fairly, so should help you with this.

I can say is everything is beyond my capabilities at Tesco I can not because everybody already May me in the ass as much as I can tell:mad::mad:

Have you ever been paid for sick pay?

How many sick days did you take in 2009?

Is it possible you screwed up (e.g. didn't get a sick cert on time) and as a result have missed the window to receive sick pay?

kulamario

i was sick for 3 weeks in 2009 but is not important!
in 2008 i was sick for 2 or 3 weeks i not remember then was pay for every each week
course tesco not pay for 3 first days

eth0_

This sounds extremely unbelievable.
There are very few employers who would pay an employee for 3 weeks out sick on full pay. After a week, you would have to go on disability benefits from the state.

I cannot believe that Tesco - known for being rather tight - would pay an employee for 3 weeks out sick, at full pay.

Any other Tesco employees reading this, please confirm as I am now getting suspicious that kulamario is trolling.

The majority of Tesco's shop staff are non-Irish. Do you really think YOU are being singled out? :rolleyes:

Unless you give us more information without resorting to accusing your employer of "racism".

kulamario

no do not think so but it is a simple PM you picked me up as a sacrifice and came to the came to assert several times not to pay me for hours worked extra days hours worked, of course, also without receipt of payment and the like

In fairness it is, it is just like saying Caucasian, remember English is not his first language.

Are you mixing up race and nationality?



On the topic of the OP, I have never worked for Tesco but not paying for the first 3 days but paying for subsequent days does not make sense. I was always under the impression that you are paid for the first 2 days by the employer and then have to claim days after that from the state?

I have worked for a number of companies that pay full sick pay. I was once in hospital for almost a month and got full sick pay from the employer.

Your reply makes absolutely no sense. Am I honestly expected to believe you've lived and worked in Ireland for 6 years with such a poor standard of English? You're doing nothing to convince me you're not a troll (making this story up).

I just don't understand your problem. You "clock in" every day at work in a supermarket, therefore all the hours you work are logged and you can request a print-out of all the hours you've done and you can compare this with your payslip. Your manager would have absolutely nothing to do with this - it'll all be processed by head office.

As for the sick days - sorry, I don't believe a supermarket worker would be paid for 2-3 weeks of sick leave. Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Sunny jim, count yourself lucky that you still have a job with that amount of sick days.

Yeah I find this hard to believe as well.

I've worked in plenty of minimum wage jobs and none of them ever paid for sick leave.

Kulamario: would it be possible for you to type here the exact wording in your contract where it states your sick pay entitlements? This would clear things up for us, and may clear things up for you just in case - due to your English skills - you've misunderstood it.

Havent read the whole thread but tescos as a retail outlet are governed by the JLC rules. under those rules/laws an employee who is with you more then 2 years is entitled to 3 weeks paid sick pay per year,. the retailer pays the balance between the social welfare payment and the normal wage.

the first 3 days are not covered under this.

Ah, didn't realise this, sorry Kulamario.

Kulamario - what was the exact reason given for not paying you sick leave?

I also agree with MagicMarker that you're risking losing your job, considering your sick leave history.
