I want to know what fantasy land he Iives in where you can get a doctors note for a 2 day sickness, would be lucky to see a gp within 2 - 3 weeks here.
We’ve just had to manage someone out of our team. We’re a really nice firm with excellent benefits but this person took advantage of it. Recurring paid sickness for a multitude of issues but mostly stress related. The role was purely admin with no pressures at all (9-5 data entry with no targets) but they had a number of days off for stress after running out of the usual excuses. HR carried out a workplace assessment with daily meetings and the person eventually quit.
Having seen this for the first time from a management point of view (therefore seeing the harm this was causing to the firm + other employees) whilst I found it difficult, I think they did the right thing.
Don't forget that most of the long term injuries are those working at minimum wage, exposed to harsh environment.This. Depends on your role.
Or the people preparing and serving food in a restaurant or retail environment going in after being sick or having diarrhoea a few hours earlier?The people suggesting no/statutory sick pay, would you be happy with your bus driver, pilot, surgeon etc. being at 10% ability because realistically they're too ill to be working, but can't afford to lose a couple of days pay?
So you are okay with your company managing people out?
Pretty sure this is not legal no matter how justifiable it seems proper process still needs to be followed.
Sounds like pretty pathetic management to be honest.
How can you trust that they don't do this to people for other reasons? You can't.
(someone please correct me if i am wrong btw).
At some point there has to be a point an employee who cant do the job can be cut loose isn't there?
Small businesses cant soak up endless absences can they?
I work in the NHS and it's just mad how much its abused. Massive difference between different roles too.
No problem with sick pay, have more issues with sick policy.
My wife works in the NHS and abuse of the sick policy is rife with dealing with constant sickies in the too hard to deal with pile. She has multiple examples of employees taking months at a time flaunting the system as each time is a new condition.
However I think if all companies were forced to offer a period of full pay sick leave then it may force several to start investing more in employer welfare.
Full, otherwise people rock up to work ill, make mistakes and make everyone else ill.
Some people take the ****, but sick days are something which can be disclosed in references and most places have a system in place for that now.
