Do Subway pay sick pay?

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

Last updated 22 March 2024

How we know this

Based on data from 92 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between September 2023 and March 2024.

96% 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.

  • Best thing

    The staff meal, my colleagues, interacting with customers

    Worst thing

    You’re most likely doing something constantly, you stand up for the entire shift and it hurts your legs, incredibly hard to get cover when you are sick so usually you have to go in (but they do allow you to leave early)

  • Best thing

    Flexible hours

    Worst thing

    Short staffed constantly. Untrained staff. No team work. Can never have a sick day if actually sick. Can never do enough

  • Best thing

    free foot long and cookie per shift

    Worst thing

    horrible hours, limited staff so no cover when people are sick and your stuck, a lot of things to do with little time

  • Best thing

    Staff and customers

    Worst thing

    Pay, not enough staff to cover when people are sick or want time off/holidays, so have to work myself and get unpaid, bonuses are an insult considering the pressure of the expectations they want
