Sick pay when you are grounded for an ear infection, how long does it last?
-
#1 Grounded with an ear infection, doctor says two weeks minimum. What happens to pay? Sector pay obviously stops but does basic continue?
-
#2 Depends on the contract. Legacy carriers with collective agreements generally pay full basic for a period and often an average of flying pay too. Low cost contracts usually pay basic only, sometimes with a waiting period, and no sector pay. Check your contract's sick pay clause, and follow the reporting procedure exactly, that matters more than the illness for the absence system.

#3 easyJet paid basic, no sector pay, for my two weeks with the same thing. And ear infections are the one thing you never fly with, so don't.
