Bit of an odd one and just trying to work out whats considered standard before I make a decision on a change in my terms and conditions.

What is generally considered standard for the length of contractual full sick pay? (For full time, employed workers) before going onto SSP.

I currently get 6 months full pay which is inline with local authority workers (even though I'm in the private sector).

I had it in my head that about 4 weeks is standard.

My company doesn't pay any full time sick pay. Stick you straight on SSP.
 
What do they want to change it to? Assuming you are staying at the same company? If so are they replacing your contract or 'updating it'? Do you get continuity of service, that's usually a tell tale sign.

I got 5 weeks full pay but only because I moaned about only being given 4.

Then I was put on to SSP for 6 months. However, the idiots continued to pay me my full salary for 3 months and only asked for 1 back.
 
I think it depends on the company.
As far as I am aware, hourly staff would be ssp. Salaried staff would be how generous the company was/is.
Most places I worked was 1 month full, then a sliding scale down for each subsequent month. So say 75% for month 2. 50% month 3.

Now in the NHS, which offers decent sick pay. Upto 6 months full pay and then upto 6 months half pay.
Depending on length of service.

We were taken over about 3 years ago, so staff are on different t's and c's and this is about bringing the older staff (on the original t's and c's) inline with the newer staff.

Essentially it's weighing up whether I want the £4.5k car allowance (and 17p per mile on top) with only 4 weeks sick leave full pay

Instead of 40p per mile expenses (I do about 3000 a year) with 6 months sick leave full pay.

There is a change in annual leave but my length of service will negate that in less than 2 years time.

My line of work sees lots of burnout and mental health absence but that's more in local authority than my role, but you never know when you may get ill.

But thats why i want to weigh up what's considered "standard" and commonplace.

Standard and commonplace.
SSP.
Seriously.
What's the union saying, if you have one?

Haven't spoken to my union. They are terms I've used, not anyone else. I quoted standard more as a way to emphasise that I don't know what is done in other jobs or whether it would be an outlier in how things are done.

Your age would be a factor, and also the type of work and likelihood of illness or injury through work, office work and paper cuts vs chemical worker and lung burn through gases, that sort of thing.
You seem more concerned about losing access to the sick pay as opposed to actual salary so that would siggest you've already decided that is more beneficial.
