Went Home From Work Sick

Post by Bigden »

Hello,

I went home from work sick today but feel a lot better now, so will be back at work tomorrow. Will today be counted towards my sick days?

It will still show as a part absence on your sick record, but assuming you weren't there for only 10 minutes, it shouldn't be used for the purposes of the Attendance Procedure.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR DIM, I went in with a migraine, stayed for 1hr 15m of a 5 hour day and got done for a whole day's sick.

next time I get a migraine etc, I will just take a week off instead as it all counts as the same sickness anyway :P

There is a download on here somewhere that explained this, I'm sure Fishtank would be able to point you in the right direction
. I've used it many times. if notice has not been given in writing the part day absence cannot be used against you in attendance procedure. it's called something like Attendance Clarifications. I'll look it up tomorrow as the beer is in at the moment. :)

thought as long as you had worked over 1 hour it should only count as a part day

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
