    I really cant afford to take sick days... it would seem none of the people I work with can either. seems like a bit of a merry go round at work and at home the past few months... never been ill as often as I have lately!

    Im feeling a bit sad now Seems plenty of people are unable to take sick days off as they wont get paid. Some wont out of a sense of duty, I understand it but I could never do it, at least not working for someone else anyway.

    Im still off, cant remember ever taking a whole week off sick but I think its going to happen. Ive been sick for a few days before and taken a week just for the sake of it but never actually been sick for a week.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    I was off last month for a week through food poisoning. Bloody hate taking time off as we dont get paid when off sick which is a bummer!!

    I used to work at Orange many years ago and they had a great policy which paid sick days, in fact ya were paid a max of 21 sick days per year. Well that was open to abuse I can tell ya. Not only did ya get 4 weeks hols a year but a further 21 days Sick!

    Thats been the setup in the last two places I've worked mate. 3 strike rule, anything more than 3 strikes of sickness and questions would start to get asked, a strike could be a day or a week or more.

    No ones going to take a strike for 1 days worth of sickness, might as well stay home for a week.

    Our work place pays up to 6 months full sick pay.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
