Answers:
If your boyfriend has Short Term Disability that should pay
him for 6 months. After that, if he has Long Term Disability, that should pay him until he goes back to work. Neither will pay at 100% and, of course, the only way he could have the benefit is if it's offered by his employer. If he has neither, FMLA will hold his job for 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the state. He needs to be in touch with his employer and keep them up to date on his condition and a possible return to work date. The employer is not obligated to pay him unless he has a contract of sorts. Hope this helps.
Contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau they should be able to help and tell you what you are entitled to.
you get statutory sick pay of 拢52 per week when you are off work, your employers don't pay you.
Doesn't the employer have term disability?
If in UK try applying for incapacity benefit...I don't know the exact legislation, but employers only need pay Statutory Sick Pay for 28 weeks..(May be a bit more or less than that) after that you have to apply for state benefits. Hope this helps.
he needs to check the terms of this contract, but his employer does not have to pay him, your boyfriend should apply for social security for financial assistance. Call the bill people and explain situation and most companies will help by creating payment plans - best to be upfront before he gets into real difficulty.
sorry i cant help, but i hope he gets well soon.
In America, you have paid sick time only if your employer has a policy of paying sick days.
Even if an employer grants an employee sick pay as a benefit of employment it is rarely more than 10 days paid leave- usually paid at 1/2 your rate of pay as compared to vacation time which is paid at your normal rate pay.
But paid sick time is up to the employer and is in no way legislated by state or federal law.
Now unpaid sick time is a guaranteed right - FMLA- federal policy sets out standards for employees to be guaranteed 12 weeks of unpaid leave when out due to their own illness or caring for a family member who is ill.
FMLA guarantees that after 12 weeks of leave your employer has to have a position for you that pays at the same rate that you were paid before you leave.
Sorry, I can't give you more positive info
im off work sick with a very badly injured coccyx, which means i cant sit down for more than a few mins and seeing as I drive for a living I cant work. Your boyfriend can claim for benefits. If he contacts citizens advice then Im sure they will help sort something out for him.
Depends on what benefits he has. A job is not obligated to pay for sick leave or injury leave...unless injured at work. Your question is not clear about any of this.
Is your boyfriend's problem work related, if so, he can claim for industrial injury. If he is in a union he will be able to get full support and free legal assistance.
