I'm currently sick with pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. I've been signed off work for 2 weeks plus a further 2 weeks, running out on Wednesday.
I work in the planning industry and have been with this company for 2.5 years. My contract says sick pay is discussed in the handbook. The handbook says sick pay beyond statutory is at the managers discretion.
I get on with my manager (we're a team of three, a junior guy, me, and then LM. But we link up with other offices regularly). I'm currently on full pay with LM and HR being nice with the "the important thing is you get better" lines. I keep in touch with my LM on WhatsApp every half week or so.
What is a reasonable expectation for how long I'll be granted being on full pay? I.e. Has anyone here been that kind of decision maker? What would you do in that position? It is likely I'll be signed off for a further 2 weeks at least due to lack of lung capacity making me very tired after an hour or two of doing things (which includes concentrating).
For context the planning industry is rather cool right now (although my impression was it was just starting to come out that dip when I left) but our team performs to budget mostly and are the teacher's/board's pet at the moment - if the decision is monetary/ performance based. I was up for promotion once the company got it's ship in order.
