Anyone else find it stupid that injuries picked up at work count towards an absense?
About 6 months ago a roller was pushed into my front tooth - it shattered and was bleeding (lovely :P). There was only 40 minutes left of my shift and i made sure someone could do my disposals before getting permission from the on-duty manager to go home.
Now, 6 months later, i have a return to work and get told i have to have a meeting that could lead to a disiplinary for 3 absenses. One for being really ill/depressed from the death of my granddad, one for just feeling like crap and, ofcourse, a whole absense for 40 minutes of a shift that i wasnt payed for and which didnt affect sainsburys in anyway as someone was there to cover it.
Now that the bonus is coming up, i have been told that having 3 absences/a disiplinary excludes you from a bonus. Is this right? Also, am i allowed to challenge the fact that i was given an absense on the tooth incident on feeling like crap after my granddad's death?
