My friend has been on sick leave for the last 8 weeks. She was expecting about 60 pounds a week sick pay from her company but they only paid 22 pounds. Eventually she found out it was because she wasnt signing the back of her sick note. Will she be able to get this money back and shouldent the company have told her? Anyone else been in this situation? How did it turn out. Thanks in advance.
The employer has to provide a written explanation and yir pal should then ask HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs) for a formal decision as to whether the employer was correct or no. If she rings her Tax Office (not us at the DWP) they'll point her in the right direction.
