Sick Employees' Compensation

Compensation
Langley and another v Burlo
EAT:
3 March 2006
Daily Law Notes Report Summary
Compensation for sick employees dismissed while ill - basis of
calculation - full pay or sick pay.
"Damages had to be measured by the rights which would have arisen
under the contract unaffected by the statutory provisions.  "There
was no legitimate basis for assessing the compensatory award so as
to provide a bonus above the loss in fact flowing from the
dismissal itself."
