Once worked with a permie whose wife died - he was signewd off sick by his doctor for 6 months. Because of his length of service, he got 6 months full pay (then would have been 6 months half pay). co-incidence?

One young lady here was "sick" 30 days last year, and she only joined end of Jan 2006! She's apparently already had 8 days off this year, so obviously going for a new record (or the boot).Originally posted by ZZZZ SnoozerThe wife's employer fires people who have been off work more than a couple of times a year so permies could be afraid of such practices.

It makes it look better when they claim a sicky and want time of to skive off work.
