Going home sick

Post by deej1995 »

Hi all,

How long do you have to be in before you’re allowed to go home sick? I’ve been in for 30 mins currently on a 10 hour shift and feel dreadful.

I’m on a stage 1 so concerned how this would impact my attendance record.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure on the official figure but I once had to return to the office after two hours and go home sick, never heard anything about it afterwards.

Might be 2 hours for an 8 hour shift. 25% duty. Could be a bit longer for 10 hour shift. Provided you attend tomorrow . The day should go down on PSP as part attendance. non disciplinary provided you don't abuse the system. Make sure the book room input your time off as part attendance, not full sick day.
