didn't it become a rolling period over so many years I think 3 but not sure, mind you when I worked for a certain bank, I went in one day said my wrist felt sore (no giggling at the back) and was promply sent home on full pay for 7 months until they could be certain I didn't have RSI. They had just been caned for £3m in court costs appealing the award of £60,000 to 5 staff with RSI, cheaper to have paid, plus it didn't appear on my sick record not that i had one either, they even sent me on an all expenses paid training trip to London.
