Sick pay "at manager's discretion"
I've been working in a store for over two years now and am within my rights to be entitled to sick pay. But apparently this is at manager's discretion. How exactly is this defined? The way I see it, you can be on death's door and not get it, but if they're having a good day and you've had a cold you might get it.
I was off this month for two days because I've had some sort of bug and am awaiting blood tests. Now I'm stressed as to whether I'll get paid it and wondering what I can do to prove I wasn't well enough to work.

Hmm, possibly not in this case.
Typical Government/Civil Service bad grammar. :rolleyes:
Not really after the first 3 days off as a qualifying period you become entitled to SSP but that isn't all that much.
You should speak to HR or your line manager and find out the companies policy on absence and sick pay. It does vary from employer to employer and can vary depending on the reason for absence. More employers are refusing to pay beyond SSP for sporting injuries now.
Couldn't you take in a doctor's note to prove you were ill - seeing as you must have seen someone to have had blood tests?
