PAY
1) Subject to paragraph (2), a member of a police force who is absent
on sick leave, in accordance with Regulation 33(5), shall be entitled
to full pay for six months in any one year period. Thereafter, the
member becomes entitled to half pay for six months in any one year
period.
2) The period during which sick pay shall be paid and the rate of
sick pay in respect of any period of sick leave shall be calculated
by deducting from the member’s entitlement on the first day
the aggregate of periods of paid absence during the twelve months
immediately preceding the first day of absence.
3) The Chief Constable may, in a particular case determine that for
a specified period:
a) a member who is entitled to half pay while on sick leave is to
receive full pay, or
b) a member who is not entitled to any pay while on sick leave is
to receive either full pay or half pay,
and may from time to time determine to extend the period.
4) For the purposes of this determination:
a) references to a member’s being on sick leave are references
to the member being absent from duty while entitled to be so, under
Regulation 33(5),
b) references to full pay are references to pay at the rate set out
in the Scottish Ministers’ determination of pay, made under
Regulation 24(1), and
c) references to half pay are references to pay at half the rate of
the member’s full pay.
