For someone who is off sick for 3 up to months. Employer pays zero, after the first 3 days.
So employee has to apply to social welfare and will get €244 a week.
If the employer changes their mind and decides to pay full pay what happens? Does the employee send the money back to social welfare? Or just keep it and no one will be any the wiser anyway.
If there’s a debate going on, arguing re lack of pay so the employee delays sending the certs in, in the hope that they’ll get full pay.
Is there a time limit to make the application to social welfare?
Is there a risk of the negotiations don’t work out in their favour that they’ll be left with zero at the end of the 3 months.
My 22 cents is they the employee should apply in case the employer digs their heels in. I feel that’s more likely than not.
