If the company is a JIB member company check the JIB website as these companies have to pay an enhanced sick pay which is alot more than the satutory sick pay.
There will be contact details for someone to phone or email about this on the JIB website.
Your sons boss is at it

Don't think it applies to apprentices as they could end up with more money on the sick than if they where working.
