Hi,
I am about to submit my application.
The application form is out of date. It does ask you whether you are on paternity or maternity leave (for salary purposes I am sure). However, that specific bit does not include sick leave so i answered no. Although I am pretty sure its just an outdated application.
In any case, I got this on the document requirements on the application form:
"If you are currently on maternity, paternity, shared parental or adoption leave, you should provide the last payslip and bank or building society statement you received prior to the start of your leave. The statement must show the payment, as shown on the payslip. You must also provide payslips and bank or building society statements during the period of maternity, paternity, shared parental or adoption leave. The last payslip and statement must be dated no earlier than one calendar month before the date of the application."
I presume sick leave is in the same category. Should I follow that request on the application form and include payslips prior to commencement of sick leave (Which I do have and they include my full salary) or should I just follow the previous advice on the forum and only include my last payslip. The requirement does frankly seem to be stupid because someone could have gone on sick leave or paternity leave right at the start of their employment in which case they would not be able to produce a payslip with a full salary.
In my case (being on sick leave), should I include a payslip before the sick leave started that has my full pay, and all the payslips during my sick leave as the application form says? Or just the last one?
Many thanks
