    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).

He gets paid to stay at home when he's sick!? Am I missing something here? I am aren't I?

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