    If I'm off sick I get full pay ;) (up to 20 days I think it is).

    I'm basically never off sick but I knew SuperTyke would appreciate the knowledge :D

    In my defence I didn't write it, I only copied it from Google.

    In my job role, I get to find out what a lot of people get paid when they're off sick. It's quite common for a person to get at least 6 months full sick pay.

    I suppose injured players still get paid full wages because technically, they're not absent from work. They'll be receiving treatment and undergoing training at the club.

    They'll get full pay unless they're on a pay as you play contract of course.

    I'd also imagine they don't make a claim for an injury at work that wasn't their fault!

    Strictly speaking whilst injured he will be turning up every day and in the treatment room. Still can do stuff even if not kicking a ball. Even to the point trying to rally around other players etc. He will likely be on a basic wage and appearance etc. The bigger the gap from basic to appearance can in some cases make a big difference. Top earners likely less so.

    We get 10 days full pay in a calendar year then SSP only.

    Good job that I haven't had a day off work sick in 24 years.

    Yes they do. And quite rightly so. It shouldn't be a race to the bottom.

    I work in the NHS and get my regular pay without enhancements if off work through sickness. However if i am injured whilst carrying out my duties at work i receive my enhancements as well as regular pay. Therefore if a player gets injured whilst training, playing or carrying out any club duty then i'm sure they will be in receipt of their regular pay, possibly with a percentage of any bonus they could miss out on. However it is probably the case that if one of our footballers burst his ear drum from listening too loudly to the music from the headphones that are permanently attached to their ears then they would receive their full pay whilst unable to play - for like us poor souls in the NHS they are carrying out such an important role in society and need to be looked after.

    Agreed. I was thinking the same after the thread I started. But I'm not sure how that works when the medical professionals say you're OK but you won't work 'cos you just don't fancy it.
