    Hi,

    Can anyone explain if im understanding this right in relation to redundancy and sick leave?

    When the actual length of your service for redundancy payment purposes is being calculated, the following periods over the last 3 years are included in the calculation:

    Any period of absence from work due to illness up to 26 consecutive weeks

    So this means if you are with a company 10 years, are on sick leave for a 52 weeks in the last year, then are made redundant immediately upon return to work, technically in terms of payment you are only considered to have worked there 9.5 years?

    Thanks

    Yes. Only the first 6 months of sick leave is taken into account.
