One of my friends is a nurse and is in charge of the other nurses on her ward. She told us about a nurse on her ward who had time off due to the stress of her cat snuffing it amongst other things. She plotted this nurses days off 'sick' and found it was planned to perfection - just enough days at the right times to stay the right side of the rules and maximise the sick days.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

They should have used the Bradford formula.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

My brother consults to companies on their drink and drugs policy and was telling me that sacking someone for a drink problem is quite a difficult process and will probably lead to an unfair dismissal charge. It is basically treated as an illness and you have to offer to pay for treatment and time off and be preapared to do that again when they fall off the wagon.Comment

Illness, OK. Treatment, good. But why is it the employer who has to pay for it?Originally posted by minestrone View PostComment

Can you sack somebody for laziness or incompetence these days, or do they immediately claim it's an illness and therefore discrimination?Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I used to get stressed about this sort of thing but now I think that it will generally work itself out over the long term. I have seen numerous examples of these types not being considered for any type of training, promotion, interesting work etc and always being the first on the list of people getting chopped, especially when I have been assembling the list (obviously this doesn't apply to the public sector). Some of them get into a frame of mind where they can't get back to any level of performance but like the people 'living it up on benefits', they will end up dragging along at the ass end of the economy where they belong.Comment

They will usually claim that the job turned them to drink and that the employer has a duty to heal, in the same way if they done their back in on the job.Originally posted by expat View PostComment
