Sickness Allowance
Report by
Joint Secretary (Teachers’ Side)
Background
Renfrewshire Council has seen fit to suspend the sickness allowance for
teachers during the ongoing legally mandated industrial action. The SNCT
Handbook Part 2 Paragraph 6.17 makes provision for the suspension of the
allowance under certain circumstances. There is no reference to industrial
action as a reason for suspension of the allowance.
Action
The Teachers’ Side is seeking reinstatement of the sickness allowance for
those teachers who have been affected by Renfrewshire Council’s decision
to suspend the allowance.
