Intro
There will be times when you feel unwell, either mentally or physically. We hope you will feel better soon if you’re not feeling yourself as you read this! Please know that your physical health and mental wellbeing are really important to us.
If you are well enough to work, but sick enough to pass it on, please stay at home until you feel better.
If you don't feel well enough to work, take the time off work that you need and seek medical advice if you need to. This is to make sure you have enough time to recover and feel good coming back to work.

You can get £109.40 per week Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) if you’re too ill to work. It’s paid by your employer for up to 28 weeks.
What Accurx offers
Accurx employees can have up to four weeks (20 days) off as full pay sick leave per year on top of their statutory benefit.
If you think you’ll need more than 4 sick weeks off, please talk with your manager and the People Team.
Being sick for a longer period of time can be challenging and we want to support you the best we can.
We will continue paying your full salary until you exhaust your 20 paid sick days (whether consecutive or not) in any rolling 12 months.
After this time your salary would be paid as follows:
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will be paid at the time of absence, it’s currently paid after three days of absence and for a maximum of 28 weeks.
And If you were to return to work with reduced hours, your pay would also reflect this.
