Union Sick Fund
A union support topic kept separate from company sick pay, SSP and ECSA agreement welfare benefits.
What it is
The Union Sick Fund should be understood as a union-run support arrangement. It is not the same as Statutory Sick Pay, not the same as company sick pay, and not the same as agreement welfare benefits.
Important distinction
- SSP is a statutory payment administered through payroll rules.
- Company sick pay comes through employer or agreement arrangements.
- The Union Sick Fund sits separately as union support.

This page is ready to hold the exact rules, who can apply, who to contact, what evidence is needed and how the fund works in practice.
Once you give me the exact wording or union process, I can turn this into a full guidance page instead of a placeholder structure.
