Info

When a period of absence spans more than one year (6 April to 5 April for UK and Isle of Man based employees, 1 January to 31 December for Jersey and Guernsey based employees), eligibility for sick pay during this period is the maximum period for the absence year in which the absence commenced. If you return to work following this period of absence, you will return on a rehabilitation plan. This plan will be agreed between yourself, your line manager, an Occupational Health Manager and an Employee Relations Manager. Once the rehabilitation plan has been completed successfully any subsequent absence may be paid until you have reached the maximum accumulated paid sick leave for the year in which you return. Employees: The following table applies to employees on flexible contracts whose continuous employment with the bank began on one of the Offshore Islands and began between 1 January 2002 and 30 November 2006. Employees on flexible contracts whose continuous employment with the bank began in the UK prior to 1 January 2002 but who then moved to one of the Offshore Islands or to HIUL should refer to the UK HR Procedures Manual for details of their sick pay entitlement. Service Maximum period of normal pay granted** Less than 3 years Between 3 and 5 years Over 5 years 8 weeks (40 working days) 16 weeks (80 working days) 26 weeks (130 working days) ** Calculation of maximum period of normal pay granted will be based upon a rolling 12 month period whether absence is due to a single illness or succession of illnesses. Employees: The following table applies to all employees on flexible contracts employed from 1 December 2006 in all regulated grades or in grades SB3-5, SF3-5 and bands GCB6 – GCB1. Service Maximum period of normal pay granted*** Up to 6 months Between 6 and 12 months Between 1 and 3 years Between 3 and 5 years Over 5 years Statutory Sick Pay (or Offshore equivalent as appropriate) only 2 weeks (10 working days) 8 weeks (40 working days) 16 weeks (80 working days) 26 weeks (130 working days) 20
*** Calculation of maximum period of normal pay granted will be based upon a rolling 12 month period whether absence is due to a single illness or succession of illnesses. All sick pay is calculated and paid monthly in arrears following the receipt of the absence return form completed by your line manager. Bank sick pay includes any entitlement you may have (whether or not recovered by you) to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) (UK), Sickness Benefit (Guernsey) or Incapacity Benefit (Jersey and Isle of Man). If bank sick pay ceases, you may still be entitled to SSP (HIUL employees only) (for up to 28 weeks' sickness in total) or Sickness Benefit or Incapacity Benefit as appropriate in accordance with local legislation. The bank reserves the right to refuse to pay sick pay (including SSP etc) if it has reasonable cause to think that you are not genuinely sick, or are abusing the sick pay policy. If you are employed in Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man, it will be your responsibility to claim any sickness benefit to which you may be entitled from the relevant social security authority. If you receive any sickness benefit (including any incapacity benefit) during a period of absence through sickness or injury, you will be required to provide payroll with your cheque for this sickness benefit so that a photocopy can be taken for the bank’s records. You will keep the cheque but the amount of sickness benefit covered by the cheque will be deducted from any sick pay due to you from the bank. You should be aware that the bank may reduce your holiday entitlement for the holiday year on a pro-rata basis related to your attendance during that year. Any incentive scheme arrangements, as may exist, may also be affected. Should your statutory entitlement exceed bank arrangements as set out in the HR Procedures Manual then, on exhaustion of any bank sick pay, you will be paid Sickness Benefit, Incapacity Benefit or SSP (as applicable) in accordance with your statutory entitlement. Payment of Sickness Benefit, Incapacity Benefit or SSP (as applicable) is dependent on you satisfying rules regarding periods of incapacity, the period of entitlement, qualifying days and rules for the notification of absence. If you are absent from work due to an accident or a condition sustained on or off duty that is the fault of a third party, any bank sick pay paid to you in respect of such absence will be recoverable by the bank only if, and to the extent that, you recover damages in respect of your injury, condition or absence from work. You will be notified if these circumstances apply. Further details on absence are set out in the HR Procedures Manual (Absence). 1.9 Location and Mobility Your initial location will be as stated in your offer letter from the bank. You may be required to travel to customer sites and premises and on occasion to attend training sessions and meetings elsewhere. There may also be times when the bank needs you to be flexible with your work location, which may mean a permanent or temporary move. Subject to business needs, the bank will, wherever possible, take into account your personal and domestic circumstances before requiring you to move. Set out below are the bank’s mobility 21
