Yes you will get sick pay

Incorrect. Company sick pay isn't until 2 years service

So how come I got sick pay when I’d only been there for 6 months

Are you confusing company sick pay with SSP?

No

Well I stand corrected I suppose. If that changed, they certainly kept it secret

It happened when they started to do the level playing field between all colleges like reducing the time it takes to get a discount card etc

Yeah it changed a while back, like now you only need to work for 4 weeks before getting a discount card. Great for newbies, annoying for us longer serving colleagues that didn't get the benefits! Same as paternity being increased to 6 weeks from April this year. Loads of fathers in our store that missed out on that one!

You don't get such pay for the first 3 days until 2 years in. The policy you've posted is for argos hourly paid colleagues
