Do JD Wetherspoon pay sick pay?

No. Most people don’t get proper sick pay at JD Wetherspoon.

Last updated 27 March 2024

How we know this

Based on data from 226 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between September 2023 and March 2024.

70% of people say they wouldn’t get paid if they were sick but scheduled to work.

Why this matters

Everyone gets sick sometimes. You should be able to take time off without worrying.

At a good job you should still get paid if you’re scheduled to work but can’t due to sickness. Your contract should say how many sick days you can take each year.

This is more than the legal minimum, which says you should only get paid if you are unwell for 4 full days. See Citizens Advice for more details.

    JD Wetherspoon Employee, December 2022

  • Best thing

    the fact it pays living wage, and the colleagues. the only reason i could handle the job as it was for so long was because of how nice my team was

    Worst thing

    The stress - in spoons you're either stressed or you're bored, feels like there's no inbetween. Staffing issues - at the time of writing it seems the whole UK hospitality sector is struggling for staff, but every shift we have we're either short by rota or someone called in sick and we dont get a replacement
