Hi there,
My employer has one of those Life Assurance & Serious Illness policies for all employees. It seems similar to ones that a lot of companies have. It pays out 4 times your salary on death and for serious illness it pays full salary for 6 months and then 50% thereafter if you never return to work. Fairly standard stuff.
I got a brain tumor about 3 years ago and was off work completely for about 4 months and then went back to work gradually, starting at a few half days and eventually up to a 3-day week. I even tried 4 days for a short spell but it was too much. There's no funny business here and any medical backup for the insurance provider is not a problem.
Does anyone know if I am entitled to 50% of the days that I can no longer work? I would have thought so but my company HR department thinks not.
Also, as an outside bet, is there any compensation due in this case for lack of career development (my position within the company & salary have both suffered, on top of the cut for doing less hours).
Thanks a million for any advice
