Your sick record/ sick policy at work
My work is very strict on sick and we have meetings every week regarding sick management. If I have more than 12 days off I will be sacked. What are your company policy on sickness?
If we are sick we have to phone an absence line before our shift on our first day of sickness and phone the absence line to close off the absence before our shift on our first day back.
Every july, if we have got 100% attendance for that year we get a bonus of £300 (it goes down a bit for 99% and 98% attendance and 0 bonus if lower than that.
But if we have a lot of time off though for no good reason we get spoken to about it (an maybe further action if it carries on).

Why do you get sacked if you have more than 12 days off? What if it is genuine?
And what period of time is that over- is that 12 days a year?

Basically can have as much sick as you want but after 5 days you need a sick note. If you’re off on more than 3 occasions in one year you have a meeting with your manager to discuss. If you’re sick again you get another meeting and it gradually escalates until it’s a formal review with the top dogs .... or so I’ve heard! Though I know of people who have been on long term sick for months and months where I work and then just come back - I don’t think they can fire you for being sick.

They absolutely can, they just need to follow due process.

Well they probably can but I doubt they ever would unless you took the absolute piss or it’s obvious you were lying - at least in the company I work for... it wouldn’t make sense at all it’s all about equal opportunities and being inclusive etc for both physical and mental health.
I'm semi-self employed so there isn't really a sickness policy. I just have to take on a certain number of clients per week to fulfil my contract and get paid. If I'm ill then I can just reschedule with them.

You'd be surprised. Seen it time and time again - not every employer is as good on this stuff.
I havent had a sick day in 3 years, but i think if i had more than 5 days off in 3 months they talk to you about it, and like 6 in 6 months etc. Its pretty strict but ive never been off ill so i never had to experience it.
