"What if you can't work from home and your company sick policy penalises you heavily for having time off? I used to work somewhere that had performance relayed pay and if you had more than 3 days off in a rolling 6 month period your pay was _educed. Some people can't afford to have their pay _educed because they had a cold. I actually can't remember the last time I had a day off sick. " Can understand that but pay full sick pay and let people work from home. No point perpetuating Sickness | |||

"I went to work sick the other night. I inju_ed my back at work the night before and didn't want to let my crew mate down. I then had 2 rest days and was no better. I'm now on a diazepam cocodamol cocktail and on sick. Not good. " That was foolish. Back problems should not be taken lightly as it could fuck your whole life up. Going into work with a cold is very different to putting your back out. Bad backs can have you off work for months and trigger all sorts of attendance issues and processes and letting lots more than one crew mate down. | |||

"Does your work place have a culture where people come to work ill make everyone else ill. And because they set a precedent where they came in sick everybody else comes in too? if your sick your sick and I would much rather people either work from home or actually take some time off. If you follow " One of my colleagues just spent almost two weeks off sick and the rest of us were absolutely fucked because our company's budgeting has us at the bare minimum of staff already. For starters, I can't afford time off due to illness because of my own financial situation, and I don't like the idea of my colleagues being hard pressed, so I make sure to keep my illnesses to myself. So far that seems to be effective | |||

"Also, not sure of the legalities but I don't think you can work from home of you are claiming sick pay? " If they stay at home and work they get paid the same as coming to work. If they phone in sick they get paid and are not expected to work. So subjective to my work environment if you have a sniffle they can work from home and chill. | |||

"And not all of us can work from home in the jobs they do." My last job was as a bar maid/waitress... it's somewhat impossible to do that kind of work at home! Besides, at certain times of the year my hours in that job were quite low with no sick pay, so I'd have to go in regardless. I had five days off in a year & a half at the job, three of those days were due to tonsillitis and I had to be sent home from work with that. | |||

Can understand that but pay full sick pay and let people work from home. No point perpetuating Sickness " I was on holiday once on the bike, and had a cold coming on. Popped into the office on the way home to grab a coffee as I was passing (office is about 100 miles from home) I walked from the front door to the coffee machine, chatted for about 20mins then went home. Cold developed into really bad one then, and it spread like wildfire over the next week in the office. So bad, there is now a policy of alcohol gel lots at everyone's desk in winter time. Still, usually I catch bugs from my visits to the hell hole, so nice to give something back ! | |||

"A lot of people turn up for work ill because they are sca_ed of loosing there job This. Being ill has become a disciplinery issue for many." One of my colleagues was rushed to hospital around Christmas last year as he passed out at work. He had heart problems due to stress. He came back early because he was nearly at the area for disciplinary territory. He's not been ill otherwise in the 4 years I've been there | |||

"I believe in wellness in my office it's quite alarming to think people are worried about phoning in sick to the point of making themselves even worse. " Fully agree, its all too easy to spread bugs (do people know rubbing your eyes is a sure way to get bugs into your body, and something most people do all the time? That and poor hand hygiene, of course) Nothing I hate more than turning up to a meeting where someone is proudly displaying a box of flu remedy on the table, like they are some kind of hero.. or indispendible.. Neither of which is true | |||

I caught a horrible virus 4 weeks ago and I'm still coughing and sneezing. The first week was spent with pockets full of tissues every time I went out. It's not easy to not cough on a packed bus. | |||
