It Depends on your employer. Check your contract of employment whenit comes to sick leave, for instance I know that where I work, If I was signed of sick, after completing a years work, I would get up to 26 weeks fully paid, then onto statatoury sick pay, which is around £70 per week, for a full time job. (Less if you are in part time work) If you are struggling call your council office and say that you are on the sick and will need help paying the rent, gas, electric and water. Other than that consult you nearest CAB (citizen's advice bureau) for free help and advice.

You will automatically get statutary sick pay, which comes from the government - it works out at around £70 a week. You will need to check your contract to see if you're entitled to contractual sick pay. Depending on your contract, you may be entitled to full pay, a percentage of your usual wage or nothing at all. I was off sick witha doctor's note for nearly 2 months and unfortunately I did not get any contractual sick pay at all - very depressing.

Just depends on what your policy or contact says. You may get paid for sick time, or you may be protecting your job by not being fired. Sounds like you may get short term disability, or workmans comp if the injury was cuased by your work. Call you human resorse dept. and they should be able to tell you the status of your pay.

Check your contract.If your on a salary you should get your full wage for first 26 weeks. If not you need to fill in the bottom part of your sick note to get ssp but this won't be much

You'll have something in your contract about this. Usually you'll get full pay for a certain amount of time, and then it may go down slightly after this time has run out. You will get statatory sick pay too though, however this isn't very much.

If you in employment that covers you for injury then almost full pay, if you not then the basic state sickness benefit.
