jfletch, it happens! I am a childrens mental health nurse and I juggle the objective observations and subjective experiences of 'ill' families, somatoform disorders and strange unexplainable (usually emotion-driven) illness all the time. I'll eat a bowl your confirmation bias and wash it down with a hot mug of help-seeking behaviours. 😛
My Mrs has been a staff nurse for 25 yrs & she's claimed holidays back once when she had a heart problem. I've been with the prison service 10 years & haven't claimed any back.
Yet. 🙂
Oh yes, and we also pay tax before we ever see our wages, we don't have the opportunity to write this and that off against tax...
Yup indeed - nor can you be on holiday when you are ill - so if you take a month of work sick and one of those weeks is scheduled holiday you qet that week back
I know this exists and have mixed feelings about it. Mainly for the 10% that use it to an advantage
But as other said - 10 years running my own businesses mean WTF is a holiday and ditto sick days !
I knew it was there in my previous job (just about Public Sector) in my head it was there for the big stuff like broken bones/accident/hospitalisation if I got the sniffles then that was my bad luck.
Did it 20 odd years ago, private sector.
Got to agree, didn't realise it was news either.
What about bank holidays if your off sick can you claim them back

Lol you obviously missed business for dummies and went to irrational jealousy and envy for beginners.
