MM Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I got a letter in the post this morning from the MD of my firm (a very big firm). As i always go to the bottom of the page first and see who signed it, i saw his sig and my rear end could have re-shaped steel. went back to the top, and started to read. As i have not been off sick for 6 months, we have a prize draw to reward those staff. Now with it being such a big firm, ive never won owt. Dear MM, please accept out thanks for your commitment...ect...ect.. and we will credit next months wage slip with your prize of £500............................ B) And then the wife saw it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well done on your good fortune, spend it wisely. It does seem strange to reward an employee for not going sick and for attending work regularly. We had a scheme like that, it was called, "continuity of employment". If you wanted it, you didn't go off sick and you attended work regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 .....but when the average sick days was something like 30 pp p year, ...... Blimey, what are the averages elsewhere? In the days when I was responsible for monitoring the organisation's sickrate, I used to raise an eyebrow if an individual exceeded 5 days a year, and certainly over 10 days might warrant a trip to the occupational health specialist just in case there was a question of "fitness for employment" or to establish whether or not the job was causing the ill-health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 the place i work in was and is quite tolerent of staff members being sick, and have a great care system. i think some of them milk it a bit too much, but its all changing these days.
