HOW DOES ROLLING SICK PAY WORK IN NHS?

Can you be a bit more specific please? I can try to help but I need to know what you mean - I don't know of any "rolling sick pay".

basically it mean a "rolling year" so if for example you were off sick in may, they would look at all the sick time you had had off in the last year (ie to the last may) if you were off sick in september, they would look at all the sick time you had had off in the last year to september. NHS years run from april to april, but for sick pay they use a rolling year (ie the last 12 months)

Thanks bednobs and boxtops. You are right in that I meant a 'rolling' year. So the fact that I have been back at work for 9 months would mean last years sick leave would count against me - in that I would be on 1/2 pay if I were to go on sick leave before mid-August 2010. Or have I misunderstood?

It depends on your scheme but i think you've misunderstood if you allowed 6 months off in any rolling12 month period.
Anyway this is addressed more fully on your other post.

suff I have given you a link on your other posting about this, so you can check the NHS terms & conditions of employment - I hope that helps.
