full time job on the toss of a coin.

I would have thought the obvious fair tie-breaker would be attendance over their employment but not including time off due to an accident at work

So what if one has a disability or long term problem/illness, maybe family problems that need time off to sort? You are not allowed to discriminate on health grounds or against family friendly issues? Not an obvious tie-breaker really is it?

fair point with disability if time off was down to it but i wouldn't count family friendly issues(apart from illness), that's life and changes happen and you adapt,
i've been discriminated a few times over family friendly issues, i had to alter a few things, not ideal but it was the only way

Well my main point Korky is that there can be many reasons for someone to have a weak/poor attendance record so I don't think that would be a fair decider really. Toss of a coin, ride your luck with both parties having an equal crack at winning. That would do me!

ok if you like a punt

but yeah, there will be loads of reasons for absence and not sure if rm keep the entire service history of us all, but where do you draw a line to keep it fair other than a gamble like the op posted.
say 1 lad has 1 day off with the two bob bits in 5 years, the other shagged about and got caught and takes 6 weeks off due to family issues not declaring the full sp
by your method the latter gets in but is it fair?
end of the day, if we worked for a decent employer they'd both bloody get ft!
