We have now adopted the system that LAS use, boy is it confusing. Points for having a period of sickness in a single period. Mulitply it by the number of shifts you should have been on, take away the number of days in the month and add it to the square root of your grandmother's, first cousins birthday etc etc... and then if the number you get is more that the first number you thought of you have to have a meeting with someone to find out why you were ill. "well I was ill and you always tell me not to come in when I am sick as its not good for the patients or colleagues" All I know is that in this job we work silly hours, get hardly any sleep and then get sick because your immune system is shot to pieces and funnily enough we meet sick people all day long, and with a naff immune system we pick up all the bugs that they insist on coughing all over you without covering their mouths!!!! So now we have several people all coming into work sick because they frankly can't be bothered trying to explain why they were off sick, giving every other bugger the lurgy that they have and pretty soon we will all have about 4000 points and get sacked for being sick..... You couldn't make it up, but I wonder how much LAS paid the accountant or mathematician who thought it up in the first place.......
