will be paid from the first day of becoming ill rather than from day four
What the actual fuck? You could be sick for 3 days and not get paid?
Can someone from the UK chime in, is this actually how it works in practice? Or do most places offer better terms?
It really depends on your employer.
Generally if you're salaried you'll be paid your full pay from day one and will continue to get full pay for a period of a few weeks or months.
Others will give you fuck all
When it comes to full-time salaried jobs, I think the terms are better? I'm not sure though. Every job I've had except when I worked retail as a teenager would pay me for my sick days from day 1.
That’s kind of crazy, and must be detrimental to public health if teenagers working retail are coming in and spreading around contagious diseases.
I think it does work the other way too (not defending bad employers) where some teenagers would very much have a mentality of calling in sick regularly and it just so happens to be nice weather that day. But yeah you do see some people who are unwell working retail because they can't afford to not work, especially single parents.
