Do not get sick at Ryanair!
Remember to not get sick at Ryanair! After 6 months Ryanair can end your contract! Ryanair will deduct money from your basic pay when you are sick! Ryanair will not pay you sector pay when you are sick! The Irish goverment does not give you money they will get money every month from your pay (prsi) but when you want to claim sick pay they will not give you anything and they will not answer your request in this 3 world country (ireland is sick itself) i will do everything to leave this company!

Very simple, go sick for six months 
(if it is correct what you write)
And can't understand why you think that they should pay you sector pay when you are sick. It's not only Ryanair which doesn't pay sector pay when you are sick.

Much as it is poorly written, there is a point behind it. Due to the pay structure at RYR, then if you do get ill, then you can expect very little in the way of sick pay.
Sector pay and a low wage are superb ways of keeping many of the statutory payments at an absolute minimum as sector pay doesn't count towards many important things. Little stuff like mortgages etc. You know, nothing major.............

Yes, but it's not like the nature of employment with Ryan hasn't been well known! I crossed them of my "Preferred Employer" list 9 years ago. I'd have to be desperate to consider a job with them, would be aware of the pitfalls going in, and would beat a hasty retreat ASAP.

It's a shame that Ryanair treats its employees like that. It would be the perfect airline if the employees had better conditions and working contracts. Southwest Airlines in the USA is a kind of Ryanair, with the same success, however all the staff is very well treated, good pay and good conditions which is not the case in Europe.

Southwest (US version) was the basis on which Stelios constructed EZY.
No wonder why he is grumpy with present EZY management as it sounds as if the orange machine is a long, long way from its roots and becoming more FYR every day.

Chesty,
I was away to say the same but you beat me to it. I guess if you are a contractor your sector pay is your only income. I've been sick when rostered to do a night stop, oddly enough I didn't get duty pay for both days or an overnight allowance for the trip in that months paypacket. That said I still got a basic salary (A perk of working for a company that has all its flight crew on PAYE). That said, if a self-certification form or doctor's line is not submitted then the company can deduct from the basic salary as well.

I don't know what "Ireland is sick itself" means, but it's probably irrelevant.
I'm just starting in the airline industry,and have considered joining RYR. At the end of the day, the airline caters for people who want the flights as cheap as poss - I'm pretty sure pax would strap themselves to the wings if they only had to pay a quid. But then again, everyone KNOWS that - with stories about paying £1 to go to the loo and many other controversies over the years, it's plain to see that RYR will do ANYTHING to keep costs down. I know very little about the airline, but I sure has hell know when I apply that's not going to be like flying the Concorde for BA!!
I hate to be aggressive, particularly on a website filled with vitriolic hatred such as this, but I'm with OBK on this one!

babe magnet where did you get the above information from? the payment of sick pay depends on your prsi/ni contributions.
example 1, if someone working in ireland for about 6 months goes sick they are not intitled to sick benefit.
example 2, someone that has worked 2 years or more is entitled to sick benefit.
by the way most companies (private)in ireland dont pay sick benefit in actual fact companies aviation/non aviation are using the current climate to let people go even though there profitable.
it will eventually come back to bite them on the arse

babemagnet,
Why whinge in public expecting sympathy(we all know where that is in the dictionary),you signed up for the Ts+Cs that go with the job you accepted.While I can understand why you are unhappy with the stated situation I have to ask why go there if this is such a big issue for you.
