Being dead is no excuse.

I ain't checking the pulse of any of the permies here. Or any other physical contact. I keep away from poor people. They have all sorts of diseases.

Try dealing with brain-dead users.

Do they not look physically dead then? I know a lot of mine are brain dead, I kind of took that for granted.

A lot present, here, at Client Co could be considered visually dead, but checking their pulse may prove a different prognosis.

You're lucky with visually.

I knew a contractor who emailed a co worker while at work to inform him he had just had a stroke and to call an ambulance. A billable hour is a billable hour.

If I die at work just sitting behind my screen and nobody notices can I carry on invoicing?

Yes, but that almost certainly will put you inside IR35.

You're sacked!

Another triumph for Human Remains.

You really can't make this tulipe up.

A man who failed to turn up for work for 18 months was rightly sacked - although he had been dead the entire time.

Geoffrey Toliver died of cancer in December 2014 and his death was even announced in an online obituary.

But officials in New York, where Mr Tolivar worked as a Medicaid-eligibility specialist, didn’t seem to be aware and set up a hearing to approve his firing.

The fact he had not been at work for a year and a half did not seem strange to the Human Resources Administration.

The judge at the hearing approved the firing - also noting that Mr Tolivar had failed to turn up to defend himself.

After realising their blunder, HRA spokesman David Neustadt said: “We did everything we could to contact him and his family.

“This employee was not paid when he wasn’t working, but we left his job open in case he recovered.”

Friends of Mr Tolivar criticised the handling of the case.

Pal Ted Willbright told the New York Post: “How do you fire a man who is already dead?

“He deserves better. The agency itself should have known.

He’s dead, and they’re saying he abandoned his job.

“He didn’t abandon his job, his job abandoned him.

“He was a good man. Truly, truly a good man.”

A family member also claimed that they had informed Mr Toliver’s supervisor of his illness and death.

The HRA said that they would take no further action now that they know of Mr Toliver’s “unfortunate death”.
