    I imagine they won’t give you a definition. It is the employees decision if they are fit for work or not. Does sickness cover physical injury (broken bones), mental health, or is it just a definition of a cold………etc etc. Don’t look at it as SICK,it is about absenteeism. If you are constantly absent that’s the issue.

    Our Bradford factor policy has 3 triggers, each with a different level of potential warning attached. That’s the key point though, potential, the trigger point only gets you an interview with your manager/HR. After the interview it is down to their discretion to give you a formal warning or not.

    It’s there to capture casual sickness and identify patterns, broken bones will stroke off. A bit sneeze won’t be.

    Tom not every absence is due to a contagious disease. And maybe she works on the perfume counter in the pharmacy………or should absenteeism be encouraged just because you work in a pharmacy. It’s the fact you are out that is the issue. Not the reason. Things are not black and white.

    Actually, yes I do think it should be encouraged. Lots of us live in cities with shockingly little thought put into public health at the city planning and built environment stage – and then everyday thousands and thousands of people go to work and mingle all of their diseases together in one giant melting pot of multiple drug resistant disease.

    One day, something is going to come along that makes the world resemble the walking bloody dead – all in the name of profit.
