If you're in a clerical job and your sick after about 6 months in the job. How many weeks on full sick pay should you expect in a small company? What about the total for the first year?

I have been at my job for 22 years and we get NO sick pay at all. Some places get 5 days a year, some places get a couple of weeks. For a small company, I'd say 5-7 days.

That depends on your company's policies. They're not legally required to give you any paid sick days. And after a short time on the job like 6 months, many won't. And "how many weeks" is probably pretty optimistic - at most, might be a week unless the company is really generous.
Some companies have short and long term disability policies which might pay you longer, but most small companies don't.

I dont think any company is obliged to give you any sick pay. The most you can claim is SSP. if you are still sick on day 3 you must obtain a sick note from your doctor to receive this and it is not very much per week. I would read your contract and see what the company you work for allows you, if any. Hopefully you will have a boss like me who gives 3 month full pay for sick.

You are not legally entitled to full sick pay at all. Many companies have contracts which give more than the legal requirement, which follows (only applies if you earn more than £84.00 a week) but they don't have to. So legally, they only have to give you
Statutory sick pay =
no money at all for the first three days
Then statutory sick pay which is set at £70.05 per week for up to 28 weeks

If you've only been there for six months and it's a small company don't expect anything more than a week at the most. If you have reason to believe you will be sick for longer consider quiting and collecting unemployment.

A lot of places won't even start giving sick pay until after 6 months. If it's too small then you have to just ask, they may not have written policies.

It depends on the company and your contract. My last company did not pay full sick pay, we were only entitled to SSP at £70.05 for the first 28 weeks, after that SSP stops and if your still ill you have to claim IB (incapacity benefit) where you will have to still send in sick notes from your GP to DWP.

Read your contract. My company gives me 6 months full pay and after that they give a % of my earnings.

check your contract, some companies only pay basic sick pay.

It all depends on circumstance.... full time/ part time. It will be in your contract. I think if doctors note is provided there must, legally, be some compensation. If disability benefits awrded tho, none.
