Hi all, In our company (ICT) many people call in sick, for one day or leave early due to sickness. Most used reasons are: feverish, headache, general discomfort. Also when someone has an appointment, and no days left in their leave; they just say they are sick and do not come to office...
Until now, we have not taken any action on this. Only thing which is being done is a deduction when someone calls in sick (so: a day sick is a day deducted from the salary).
But what I hear: employees are just okay with this, so whenever they have something, they call in sick... Can anyone tell me something about Law, rules and regulations on sick-leave. Or what I really would like to know: how do I change this office-culture...??
Asking for a letter from a doctor (but that can be bought...), sending someone by the house of the person who called in sick? Giving an amount of sickness-leave?
Please help me out on this!
regards,
Petra
