Sickness Policy
There is a contractual Sick Pay Scheme in operation. The maximum number of benefit days payable to eligible employees in any rolling 12 month period starting from the first day upon return to work after sickness is as follows: Services- Years Less than 4 years service Greater than 4 and less than 10 10 and more years service Benefit-Weeks 2 weeks 4 weeks 6 weeks

During that period employees (qualifying by reason to their term of tenure of employment and subject to their contract of employment) will be entitled to full pay which will include Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) entitlement. All permanent full-time, parttime employees and those on fixed term contracts (exceeding 12 months) will be eligible for membership of the sick pay scheme. Qualifying days for SSP are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A period of absence of more than three and less than seven days requires a selfcertification form which must be submitted to the Line Manager as soon as possible. It must arrive not later than the fourth day of absence. Failure to notify the credit union of an impending absence may render the absence ineligible for payment and may lead to disciplinary action under the terms of the credit union's disciplinary procedures. Periods of sickness extending beyond seven days must be covered by a doctor 's certificate. Failure to furnish certificates in time may result in loss of pay. Medical certificates must contain the following information: Name and address of the doctor Name and address of the patient Statement outlining the nature of the illness Where feasible, the expected duration of the incapacity and the expected date of return to work. Date of examination Date of issue of the certificate Actual signature of the doctor.

Armagh Credit Union Limited Armagh Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to accept certification which is not in compliance with the requirements laid down in this section. Staff cannot return to work sooner than the date specified by the doctor. The Credit Union reserves the right at any time to have an employee examined by the Credit Union's medical advisor to determine if he/she is medically fit for employment within the Credit Union. An employee who has been absent from work through illness may be required to satisfy the Credit Union's medical advisor that she/he is fit to resume work. In the event of long term sickness or persistent short term absences, or if your health is affecting your ability to undertake general or specific duties to a satisfactory standard, the Credit Union may require you to undergo an independent medical examination to ascertain continuing suitability for employment. The Board reserves the right to cease payment of sick pay if it is advised by the Medical Officer that you are fit to return to work. The Line Manager must be informed before 9.30 am on the day of any absence. Contact should be made with the Line Manager directly. Messages left with other work colleagues are not acceptable form of notification. Any such notification must stipulate the reason for the absence and, where possible, an indication of the probable date of return. If the projected return-date changes, this must again be conveyed to the Credit U ni on. On return to work after an illness of any duration, an employee must first report to the Line Manager to complete a "Return to Work" form. From time to time, and then only in exceptional circumstances, necessary and sufficient humanitarian grounds may exist to justify the suspension of a particular rule. The exercise of such a prerogative will be at the sole discretion of the Credit Union. The Credit Union reserve the right to suspend this scheme with due notice. Medical appointments Employees are entitled, within reasonable limits, to reasonable periods of time, which may be taken as paid time off for medical appointments with a Doctor, Dentist or at a Hospital (excluding post/ante natal visits which are covered separately under Maternity Leave). However, all appointments must be notified to the Line Manager. Employees are expected to return to work following such visits. Proof of visits may be required.
