How Should I Calculate Sick Pay for this Part-Time Staff Member?

Answered 20 Feb 2008 by d.head

I have a member of staff who is employed for 16 hours per week (and paid monthly at that rate).

She works 7 hours per day on Monday and Tuesday and 'banks' the rest for out of hours meetings and holiday cover for her job share partner.

When she has a day off for sickness or annual leave she maintains that she should count that as an 8 hour day. I'm not sure about that. she is currently on one month's sick leave and I am inclined to say for long term sickness 8 hours is OK as she cannot do any of her hours. Your views please?
