Q. What is Temporary Rehabilitation Remuneration?
Temporary rehabilitation remuneration (TRR) may be granted where a nurse/midwife remains unfit for work and has exhausted sick pay entitlements. There must be a realistic prospect of return to work and the employee must have at least 5 years’ pensionable reckonable service at the date of application.
Following exhaustion of standard sick leave (183 days) TRR may be paid for a further 545 days (18 months).
Following exhaustion of critical illness extended sick leave (365 days) TRR may be paid for a further 365 days. Management may continue to pay TRR for a further period of 730 days (24 months) subject to O.H.P. certification of a reasonable prospect of return to work.
