I can see wh you were angry What utter bloocks. Sick policies are never the best. I remember, allbeit this is just my PT job while I study, sitting in an office with two managers moaning abot my sick record (well one moaning and the other taking a verbatum account of what was said). In 3 years had 1 day off, because I only had a contract for 5.25 hours a week this meant I had been off more than 3% of my working week in the last 26 weeks (3.84% to be exact). Had I not been 200 miles away from work when I took ill I would have no doubt stugged into work (as I have done on many occassions). Management often need a good kick up the arse and it is usually the case when it comes to sick policies.
